简要总结
This study will compare the effectiveness of the Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaptation Osteo Articulaire (ELDOA) method and upper thoracic mobilization and mobility exercises in correcting forward head posture (FHP). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods in reducing forward head posture. The total sample size will be 36, with each group consisting of 18 participants. This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be selected through screening and then assessed for outcomes using NPRS, a goniometer, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Web Plot Digitizer (WPD) Software. Statistical analysis will be conducted using SPSS version 27.
详细描述
Study Title Comparative Effectiveness of the ELDOA Method and Upper Thoracic Mobilization and Mobility Exercises in Correcting Forward Head Posture: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Introduction Forward Head Posture (FHP) is a common postural deformity characterized by an anterior positioning of the head relative to the vertical axis of the body. This condition can lead to various musculoskeletal issues, including neck pain, reduced range of motion, and increased disability. The Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaptation Osteo Articulaire (ELDOA) method and upper thoracic mobilization and mobility exercises are two interventions aimed at correcting FHP. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of these two methods in reducing FHP and associated symptoms.
Objectives The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the ELDOA method and upper thoracic mobilization and mobility exercises in reducing FHP. Secondary objectives include assessing improvements in pain levels, neck disability, and range of motion.
Study Design This study is a randomized clinical trial.
Participants A total of 36 participants will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups, each consisting of 18 participants.

结局指标
主要结局
Craniovertebral angle
时间窗: 5 Minutes
The primary outcome measure was the CVA, which was calculated using each participant's profile photo. The self-balanced posture assessment method was used to force the participants to maintain their typical head posture. By drawing a vertical line from Targus to the seventh cervical vertebrae and a horizontal line across them, the angle between them may be calculated to determine the CVA angle. The CVA measurement was shown to have excellent reliability in a prior research.
