NCT ID: NCT04865926 Completed - Clinical trials for Forward Head Posture

Comparison Of The Neck And Scapular Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Exercises On Postural Disorders, Scapular Dyskinesia And Round Shoulders in Individuals With Cervical Sagittal Alignment Disorder.

Start date: March 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In modern society, repetitive and monotonous activities are increasing due to the decrease in general physical activity, the development of the information technology industry, and time culture flow. Therefore, prolonged exposure to unstable or abnormal posture can trigger a chain reaction of poor alignment and imbalance, leading to musculoskeletal diseases such as muscle stiffness or repetitive traumatic injury. Sagittal cervical malalignment (SCM), and also known as Forward head posture (FHP), is one of the poor posture types of the head commonly seen in the sagittal plane. İt is defined as the forward shift of the head. As the head moves forward, the center of gravity changes. To compensate for this shift in the center of gravity, the upper body slides back and the shoulders move forward, the rounded shoulder develops so that the head is placed in front of the body. SCM can cause many harmful symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, chronic headaches, increased curvature of the spine and scapular dyskinesis, and rounded shoulder.

NCT ID: NCT04796051 Completed - Neck Pain Clinical Trials

Comparison Between Effect of Posterior Cervical Weighting and Deep Cervical Flexion Exercise on Forward Head Posture

FHP
Start date: April 10, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT04463199 Completed - Neck Pain Clinical Trials

Effects of Deep Cervical Flexors Training On Forward Head Posture, Neck Pain and Functional Status

Start date: February 20, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Using computer for long hours is related to higher risk of computer related muscular disorders like forward head posture and neck pain. Deep cervical flexor muscles are important head-on-neck posture stabilizers thus their training may lead to improvement in forward head posture (FHP) and neck pain (NP).

NCT ID: NCT04253821 Completed - Clinical trials for Forward Head Posture

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

Start date: January 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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).

NCT ID: NCT04216862 Completed - Clinical trials for Forward Head Posture

Strengthening and Stretching Exercise to Improve Forward Head Posture and Rounded Shoulders

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Forward head posture (FHP) and Rounded shoulders (RS) are defined as protrusion of the head and shoulders in the sagittal plane. Forward head posture is defined as the anterior positioning of the cervical spine. Rounded shoulders also called protracted shoulder (PS) is a protrusion of the acromion of the shoulder joint relative to the centerline of gravity of the body, causing stooped posture along with elevation, protraction, and downward rotation of the scapula, and an increased angle between the lower neck bone and upper spine. Many Physical therapy treatment options are available to correct forward head posture and rounded shoulders which focused to correct the muscle imbalance and restore the normal posture of Cervical spine and shoulder. The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of Strengthening exercise with the outcomes of stretching exercise on the targeted muscle group to correct forward head posture and rounded shoulders. The study will determine effective management plan for correction of forward head posture and rounded shoulders. It will be Experimental Randomized Controlled Trial. 26 Patients will be included through consecutive sampling, with 13 patients in each of 2 groups. Subjects will be equally distributed to two groups with use of dice roll method of randomization. From the two groups, one receiving strengthening exercise treatment and other receiving stretching exercise treatment. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) V 25.will be used for Data analysis. Results will be extracted. Conclusion will be made after comparing the pre and post treatment results of both treatment approaches.

NCT ID: NCT01806519 Completed - Neck Pain Clinical Trials

Motor_Control_Neck_SSED

Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Neck pain is a common problem in the western world. There is a group of people suffering from neck pain with a reduced ability to maintain an upright posture showing a forward head position and an altered muscle function. The aim of the study was to evaluate a motor control intervention for patients with persistent neck pain and a forward head posture. This pilot study used a Single System Experimental Design (SSED) with an A-B-A-design and multiple baselines. The tailored motor control intervention addressed the faulty postural alignment and the deep muscles of the cervical spine.
