Relationship Between Head Posture Muscles, Pulmonary Capacity and Functional Capacity: a Myotonometric Assessment

Forward Head Posture Clinical Trial

Official title:
Relationship Between the Tonus, Stiffness, and Elasticity of Head Posture Muscles and Pulmonary Capacity and Functional Capacity: a Myotonometric Assessment

Clinical Trial Summary

Forward head posture (FHP) is known to have a large influence on respiratory function by weakening the respiratory muscles. This cross-sectional study is designed to examine the relationship between the tonus, stiffness, and elasticity of head posture muscles and pulmonary capacity. Sixteen FHP individuals and seventeen NFHP individuals were evaluated. The muscle tonus, stiffness and elasticity of upper trapezius (UT), semispinalis capistis (SSC), pectoral muscles (PM) and sternocleidomastoideus muscles (SCM) were measured by using MyotonPro® device. Functional capacity was measured with six-minute walk test. Pulmonary function tests was evaluated with spirometer. The neck disability index (NDT) was applied. The forward head posture was determined by measurements of craniovertebral angle (CVA). Physical activity levels of participants were evaluated by Physical Activity Index (FIT).
