简要总结
Forward head posture (FHP) is defined as the position in which the head is in front of the shoulder and is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems caused by the increasing use of computers and smartphones. Posture analysis, pulmonary function test, respiratory muscle strength and endurance assessment, and performance test will be performed as the initial evaluation for those who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the study. Participants with a craniovertebral angle of 50 degrees and less than 50 degrees will be included in the head forward posture (FHP, n=34) group, and participants with an angle of more than 50 degrees will be included in the control group (CG, n=34).Participants with HFP will be randomly divided into two groups as study (FHP-S, n=17) and control (FHP-C, n=17). An inspiratory muscle strength training program will be applied to the FHP-C group for 7 days/6 weeks. All assessments performed before the training will be repeated after 6 weeks of inspiratory muscle strength training. No inspiratory muscle strength training will be applied to the FHP-C group. Participants in the CG group will not undergo any additional assessment or training.

结局指标
主要结局
Craniovertebral angle
时间窗: Baseline
Where a line drawn from the tragus of the ear to the C7 vertebra intersects a horizontal line, the CV angle is formed.
Sagittal head tilt
时间窗: Baseline
This angle, which is formed between a line from the canthus of the eye and the tragus of the ear and the horizontal, is a measure of the posture of the upper cervical spine.
Sagittal shoulder-C7 angle
时间窗: Baseline
Where a horizontal line passing through the lateral shoulder meets the line drawn from C7 to the lateral shoulder, the point of intersection forms the sagittal shoulder-C7 angle
Kyphosis angle measurement
时间窗: Baseline
The spinous processes of C7 and T12 vertebrae will be marked by a marker (reflector). Extensions of these reflectors will be taken and perpendicular lines will be drawn to these extensions. The angle formed by the intersection of the perpendicular lines will be measured as the thoracic kyphosis angle
