Filter by:To investigate if the Whole-body vibration affect cervical function cervical, proprioception, pain intensity level and ROM and in subjects with forward head posture?
to investigate the Efficacy of adding Pilates to postural correction exercise on nerve root function and electromyography activity in symptomatic forward head posture: Randomized Controlled Trial
to investigate the effect of cervical stability training on somatosensory evoked potential and cervical spine in forward head posture
Objective: The aim of present study is to explore the effectiveness of pressure bio feedback in treatment of occupational forward head posture on computer users.
anterior protrusion of head in relation to the trunk; It has a high prevalence among old women as increased age is associated with a reduced cervical range of motion (ROM), greater thoracic kyphosis which is associated with greater cervical flexion and greater forward head posture accompanying with greater deficits in cervical ROM of flexion and rotation. So, the aim of the study is to determine the effect of forward head posture on temporomandibular joint proprioception in postmenopausal women
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is 1) to investigate correlation between cervical spine joint position error (JPE) and postural stability in asymptomatic older adults with forward head posture (FHP), 2) to examine the effect of a home-based exercise program on visual reliance and cervical spine proprioception for postural stability in asymptomatic older adults with FHP, 3) to study the effect of immediate postural correction on cervical spine JPE and active range of motion (AROM), and 4) to determine participant post-intervention perception of changes in FHP, postural stability and effect on quality of life.
The aim of this study is to investigate efficacy of adding Scapular Stabilization Exercises to postural correctional exercises on Endurance of cervical flexor and extensor muscles on Asymptomatic forward head posture.
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.
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.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of adding Body-blade exercises to traditional treatment on posture, scapular muscles strength, neck pain, and function in individuals with forward head posture
