Protocol summary

Study aim
determine the effectiveness of NASM exercises on the lordosis angle, ROM of the spine, endurance of central region muscles and electrical activity of selected muscles and lower limbs in people with LCS
Design
A single-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial of 30 subjects. Random Number Generator software was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Exercises are conducted in the dormitory of Allameh Tabatabai University and Beheshti University for two months, The tests related to the research in the research institute of physical training and sports sciences are taken as a pre-test and post-test from all the subjects, the research is in a blind way that the subjects did not know about the grouping
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: women suffering from inferior cruciate syndrome, age range 18-30 years increased lumbar lordosis angle. Exclusion criteria from the research: having back pain with orthopedic causes suffering from other postural abnormalities affecting the research process such as hyperkyphosis, scoliosis, injury and causing pain during the research process.
Intervention groups
It will include four stages of restraint, stretching, activation and cohesion techniques. The tests include the lumbar lordosis angle using the Yodas scale, the ROM of the spine using the twice modified Schuber test, the ROM of the thigh using a goniometer, as well as the electrical activity of muscles in the hip hyperextension movement using the electromyography device synchronized with the motion device. The analysis is recorded in the Institute of Physical Education. All tests are done as pre-test and post-test. The control group will not perform any exercise program during 2 months.
Main outcome variables
The lordosis angle in LCS people; The ROM of the spine and hip in these people; Electrical activity muscles in thigh hyperextension task in these people.
