Protocol summary

Study aim
To compare the effect of eight weeks of combined multi-component exercises and exercises of a comprehensive corrective program on balance and postural prediction of the risk of falls in the elderly with the upper crossed syndrome.
Design
A clinical trial with a control group, parallel groups, single-blind, randomized, conducted on 30 persons. Random numbers table is used for randomization
Settings and conduct
30 elderly people with upper cross syndrome and qualified to enter the research are randomly divided into three groups of multi-component exercises and comprehensive program exercises and a control group. All measurements will be done at the day care center for the elderly in Ashkazar.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The elderly who are 60 calendar years or older, having upper crossed syndrome with the criteria (head forward angle more than 46 degrees, rounded shoulder angle more than 52 degrees and kyphosis more than 42 degrees), not having muscle problems, whether hereditary or acquired, will be included.

One of the two intervention groups will participate in partial body exercises and the other group will participate in comprehensive exercises for 8 weeks and three sessions per week and each session will be 60 minutes. These exercises will be done with the aim of improving balance and dual-task balance (along with cognitive exercises) and posture and predicting the risk of falls in the elderly. Also, the control group is asked to walk for 40 minutes at a desired speed after warming up for 10 minutes and cool down again with 10 minutes of stretching exercises.
Main outcome variables
"Dynamic equilibrium, natural angles including craniovertebral, kyphosis, and shoulder angles, and risk of falling

Randomization description
Randomization will be done as simple method with card. The type of intervention will be put in sealed envelopes. Individuals are listed in order of attendance. After including in the study, the envelops will shuffled and each person is asked to select an envelope. The subjects will be asked to select one envelope. According to the predicted sample size, the number of envelope will be provided. Therefore, any selected envelope will not return to randomization sequence. This type of randomization can result to have the same number of individuals in both groups
