Abstract
Introduction: One of syndromes that arising from muscle imbalances in the sagittal plane is lower crossed syndrome, and characterized by "crossed pattern" of postural dysfunction and lumbopelvic motion. It could be affecting lower limbs because of muscular chains at lower exterimity. The medial longitudinal arch is a variable structure and its height could affect several functions during static standing and walking. The navicular drop indicates foot mobility and has been associated with lower limb musculoskeletal injuries.
Purpose: The aim of the current research is investigating the effect of corrective exercises for lower crossed syndrome on the navicular drop in non-athlete young females.
Method: Method: In this semi-experimental research, 30 non-athlete female students of Shahrekord University dormitories that were available and have lower crossed syndrome, placed randomly in control or training groups (n=15 in each group). The training group performed their exercises for 8 weeks, three sessions every week but the control group only did their daily tasks. Before and after the exercises, the navicular drop test for the right and left foot of all subjects was evaluated using a ruler.
Results: The results of T-Test showed that there isn’t any statistically significant difference between the groups (P=0.35) at pre-test and post-test.
Conclusion: Corrective exercises for lower crossed syndrome did not affect the arch of the foot. Also, it has been reported that Lower crossed syndrome affects the lower exterimity alignment and function, but corrective exercise of this syndrome just affected the lumbar region and didn’t have any change in foot arch.
