It has been reported that the head protrudes forward relative to the body from the sagittal plane associated with the anterior shifting of the line of gravity (LOG) relative to the base of support (BOS). On the other hand, the center of gravity (COG) has changed with the forward head posture (FHP) and is related to mechanical and musculoskeletal modifications due to postural control, which affects the whole body balance. Griegel-Morris et al. Reported that, after evaluating eighty-eight healthy participants, 66% had a forward head posture (FHP). In addition, he stated that the inverted head posture in the forward head posture will not only cause neck problems, but also can extend to the shoulder joint and thoracic spine. As a result, it causes a general imbalance in the musculoskeletal system. Jung-Ho Kang and his colleagues examined the effect of daily sitting times of computer users on dynamic and static balance and stated that balance ability decreased in heavy computer users. Another study on forward head posture (IBP) revealed that it limits ankle joint movement, especially in ankle plantarflexion.

Primary | Craniovertebral Angle (CVA) | Cranio vertebral angle: Above 52 degrees will be considered as normal head posture, while less than 48 degrees will be considered as forward head posture | 6 weeks | |
Primary | Neck Disability Index (NDI) | The scale consists of 20 questions, the intensity of the pain; researches in terms of recreational, professional, social and daily life functions and emotional factors. Maximum score is 50 (which is total maximum score) means severe neck disability. Minimum score is 0(which is total minimum score) means without any reported neck disability. | 6 weeks |
