简要总结
see if there will be no statistical significant difference between the effects of Pilates mat versus cervical stabilization exercises on dynamic balance in young adults with forward head posture.
详细描述
In modernized time, extended use of mobile phone and computers has increased anterior weight bearing of cervical spine leading to a variety of musculoskeletal disorders related to the neck by changing the biomechanical stress of cervical spine. Additionally, forward head posture (FHP) alters the center of gravity (COG) of the body that lead to mechanical modifications related to postural control in the torso and every joint. The body attempts to adapt to these changes by altering its balance control mechanisms; these adaptations decrease balance ability while performing different activities and increase the risk of falling and musculoskeletal injury.
