Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of corrective exercise and yoga practice on pain and upper cross syndrome in female seamstresses. The women of 30 and 45 in Qom province, who had at least five years of sewing experience and were engaged in sewing regularly, approximately five days a week. From the statistical population, 45 people were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with an average age of 38 ± 2.42 years, an average height of 166 ± 6.06 cm, and an average weight of 67 ± 4.93 kg. The head forward angle was measured using a photograph, the level of pain was measured using a pain ruler, and the degree of kyphosis was measured using a flexible ruler. In the next stage, the 45 people were divided into three groups (15 people in corrective exercise, 15 people in yoga practice, and 15 people in the control group). In order to analyze the statistical data, the analysis of covariance test with the Bonferroni post hoc test was used to examine possible differences. All analyses were performed using SPSS software version 26 at a 95% confidence level with an alpha less than or equal to 0.05. The results of the present study indicated that both corrective exercises and yoga exercises were effective in improving pain and upper cross syndrome, but corrective exercises were more effective; but, yoga exercises only had a significant difference in the amount of pain and the amount of dorsal kyphosis.
