Forward Head Posture Clinical Trial
Official title:
High Intensity Laser Therapy Versus Scapular Stabilization Exercises on Ventilatory Function in Forward Head Posture
The purpose of the study is to compare between the efficacy of high intensity LASER therapy and scapular stabilization exercises on ventilatory functions in forward head posture patients
Neck pain is a common complaint in the population, with a considerable impact on individuals and their families, communities, health-care systems and businesses. The estimated 1-year incidence of neck pain ranges between 10.4 and 21.3%, and the overall prevalence of neck pain in general population can be as high as 86.8%. The photothermic and the photochemical effects of high intensity LASER therapy may increase blood flow and stimulate collagen production within tendons; in addition, high intensity LASER therapy may increase vascular permeability and has an anti-inflammatory effect, thus removing the pain stimulus. Scapular stabilization exercise is used as an effective way to recover the imbalance in posture and the muscles. It is also effective in increasing muscle activation in the serratus anterior and lower trapezius, through decreasing the compensatory movement, which is caused by the forward head posture, and in decreasing muscle activation on the upper trapezius. Furthermore, it brings about a spinal curve change and upper crossed syndrome improvement. Therefore, this study will compare the difference between the effect of high intensity laser therapy and scapular stabilization as a modality of treatment on ventilatory function in forward head posture patients. ;
