The main objective of this study is to find the effects of breathing exercises on cardiorespiratory parameters in subjects with forward head posture. This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial study with two different breathing exercises which include Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise (DBE) for Treatment group A individuals and Thoracic Extension Exercise (TEE) for Treatment Group B individuals will be performed along with ergometric advices. Each exercise session will be done three times per week for total over a period of 12 weeks. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 6th and 12th week with photogrammetry method for craniovertebral angle (CVA) and spirometer for pulmonary function test values (PFTs).

Primary | Photogrammetry Method for Forward Head Posture Assessment | Photogrammetry is a reliable and accurate tool for measurement of angles. It is used to measure the FHP through measurement of Craniovertebral angle (CVA) measurement. CVA is the inner angle between the horizontal line drawn from C7 spinous process to the midpoint of the tragus. As the higher the CVA the higher the FHP. All measurements are done after taking a photograph via digital camera in lateral-view in standing position | Baseline; 6th Week; 12th Week | |
Primary | Spirometry for Pulmonary Function Test FEV1 | Spirometry method is use to measure pulmonary functions by assessing the lung volumes and capacities. As these pulmonary values will changed after FHP as the mobility of cervical spine and diaphragm are compromised. Spirometry is a cost effect, environment friendly, noninvasive and sensitive tool which can easily help in assessment of pulmonary function | Baseline; 6th Week; 12th Week | |
Primary | Spirometry for Pulmonary Function Test FVC | Spirometry method is use to measure pulmonary functions by assessing the lung volumes and capacities. As these pulmonary values will changed after FHP as the mobility of cervical spine and diaphragm are compromised. Spirometry is a cost effect, environment friendly, noninvasive and sensitive tool which can easily help in assessment of pulmonary function | Baseline; 6th Week; 12th Week | |
Primary | Spirometry for Pulmonary Function Test FEV1/FVC ratio | Spirometry method is use to measure pulmonary functions by assessing the lung volumes and capacities. As these pulmonary values will changed after FHP as the mobility of cervical spine and diaphragm are compromised. Spirometry is a cost effect, environment friendly, noninvasive and sensitive tool which can easily help in assessment of pulmonary function | Baseline; 6th Week; 12th Week |
