Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims at investigating the effects of application of a twelve sessions of Global Postural Re-education Technique (GPR) on Craniovertebral angle (CVA), functional abilities, stability of sense of position, cognitive abilities and treatment satisfaction.


Clinical Trial Description

A sample of 36 participants with a CVA less than 50 degrees will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups either receiving global postural reeducation added to traditional Kendall exercises or a group that receives Kendall Exercises only. Treatment sessions will be continued for a total of 12 sessions with a rate of 2-3 sessions per week. The effect of these two treatments will be assessed by various variables including: forward head angle via photogrammetry and Kinovea App, functional abilities via neck disability index, stability of sense of position by Cervical Range of Motion instrument (CROM) ,cognitive abilities via Stroop and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) tests and agreeability of treatment techniques via treatment satisfaction scale. ;
