Forward Head Posture Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Effects of Visual and Pressure Biofeedback on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability in Symptomatic Forward Head Posture.
This study aims to determined the comparative effect of visual and pressure biofeedback on Pain,Disability and Range of Motion in young and middle aged adults diagnosed with forward head posture.
Forward head posture describes the shifting of the head forward with the chin poking out. It is caused by increased flexion of the lower cervical spine and upper thoracic. Forward head posture is the most frequently observed postural deviations and is said to be associated with shortening of posterior cervical extensors and weakening of the anterior deep cervical flexors. In this randomized control trial participants showing forward head posture will be randomly assigned into two intervention groups. 28 subjects were divided equally into two groups 14 each containing both genders. Group A (Experimental group) will be given isometric strengthening and stretching training guided pressure biofeedback. Group B (Experimental group) will be given isometric strengthening and stretching training of deep cervical flexor (DCF) muscle guided through visual biofeedback . Each participant will be receive a total of twelve treatment sessions over a four-week period. The efficacy of the interventions will be assessed at the beginning (first session) and conclusion (last session) of the treatment period. The assessment will encompass various outcome measures. Pain intensity will be evaluated using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), while disability levels will be measured using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The cervical active range of motions (CAROMs) will be assessed by goniometry. Finally, the visual feedback referred as indicator of measuring forward head posture by evaluating these outcome measures insights will be gained into the impact of the interventions on the participants' symptoms and postural alignment through light. The randomized design of the trial provide valuable information to healthcare professionals on how to manage symptomatic forward head posture and may contribute to the development of future research in this area. ;
