Conditions
Summary
Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) is a pattern of muscle imbalance that leads to forward head posture, rounded shoulders, or excessive thoracic kyphosis, thereby affecting posture and cervical-shoulder function. Dynamic Taping is a taping technique aimed at enhancing movement control and muscle support through its elastic material and tension, influencing the skin and neuromuscular system. When applied to UCS patients, Dynamic Taping can assist in posture correction, improve posture control, and increase scapular dynamic stability. Additionally, Dynamic Taping can enhance proprioception, helping patients maintain proper posture through sensory feedback. Corrective exercises improve posture and stability by strengthening weakened muscles and stretching tight muscles. Combining these two interventions is expected to help address poor posture.

Interventions
Dynamic Tape is a viscoelastic tape designed to assist movement and absorb load. The material is composed of either Nylon/Lycra or Recycled PET/Lycra.
A 75 cm diameter Swiss ball was used to provide an unstable surface during the exercise intervention.
During the exercise intervention, 1 kg and 2 kg dumbbells were used as external resistance.
A headband was prepared to attach the laser pointer securely, allowing participants to wear it . This visual feedback laser device was used during proprioceptive training to provide real-time feedback.
