[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of strength and stretching exercises on upper crossed syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] After measuring cervical alignment using the Global Posture System, 30 students with forward head posture were selected and divided into two groups. The experimental group (n=15) participated in strength and stretching exercises, three times per week for 4 weeks. The control group (n=15) did not participate in the exercises. The exercise program comprised middle and lower trapezius strength exercises and levator scapulae and upper trapezius stretching exercises. The temperature of the posterior neck was then measured using digital infrared thermographic imaging. [Results] There was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results in the experimental group, and a significant difference in posterior neck temperature between the two groups. [Conclusion] This study showed that middle and lower trapezius strength exercises and levator scapulae and upper trapezius stretching exercises are more effective for upper crossed syndrome.
[目的]本研究旨在确定力量训练和伸展运动对上交叉综合征的有效性。[对象与方法]使用全球姿势系统测量颈椎排列后，选取30名头前倾姿势的学生并分为两组。实验组（n = 15）参加力量训练和伸展运动，每周3次，共4周。对照组（n = 15）不参加运动。运动方案包括中下斜方肌力量训练以及肩胛提肌和上斜方肌伸展运动。然后使用数字红外热成像测量后颈部温度。[结果]实验组的测试前和测试后结果存在显著差异，两组之间的后颈部温度也存在显著差异。[结论]本研究表明，中下斜方肌力量训练以及肩胛提肌和上斜方肌伸展运动对上交叉综合征更有效。
