Abstract
Purpose: The present was a comparison of the effect of postural correction exercises and cowthorne Cooksey exercises on dynamic stability and upper half posture of dyslexic children with upper cross syndrome. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design.
method: The statistical population of this study was dyslexic male students (8 to 10 years old) with upper cross syndrome. From the statistical population, 30 people were randomly selected and selected as a sample in two groups of postural correction exercises and cowthorne Cooksey exercises. Y equilibrium test was used to measure dynamic stability. To analyze the data, first the normality of the data and the homogeneity of variances were assessed using Shapiro-Wilk test and F-Levin test, and then the ANCOA test at the 5% level was used to examine the group effects and compare the groups.
Results: After eliminating the effect of pretest, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of adjusted kyphosis angle, head forward, round shoulder, dynamic balance of the dominant leg, and total dynamic balance in the post test of the two groups (P≥0.05). The angle of kyphosis, forearm and round shoulder was lower in the correctional exercise group than in the cowthorne Cooksey group. The cowthorne Cooksey group was in a better position than the correctional group in dominant dominant dynamic balance and total dynamic balance.
Conclusion: Comparison of postural correction exercises and cowthorne Cooksey exercises performed in this study showed that cowthorne Cooksey exercises had a greater effect on improving dynamic stability and corrective exercises had a greater effect on improving upper cross syndrome. In general, the results showed that in comparison between the two groups, corrective exercises improved anomalies, kyphosis, forearms and round shoulders, and cowthorne Cooksey exercises improved dynamic stability.
