Overview
Brief Summary
Forward head posture (FHP) is a prevalent deformity that can cause various health issues in adolescents. The programs combining manual therapy (MT) and stability exercises (SE) have shown better effectiveness than stability exercises and home exercises in recovering FHP. However, the effectiveness of the therapy program consisting of Tai Chi and MT for recovering FHP remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of Tai Chi with MT on FHP recovery. Meanwhile, with a particular focus on personalized medicine, we utilized explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to predict if individuals would reverse to healthy posture based on different interventions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Using photogrammetry to calculate the cranial vertebral angle of participants before and after the intervention.
Time Frame: Month 3
Participants' cranial vertebral angles before and after the intervention will be measured using photogrammetry to assess the change in cranial vertebral angle at 3 months compared to baseline.
Using universal goniometer to calculate the cervical range of motion of participants before and after the intervention.
Time Frame: Month 3
Participants' cervical range of motion before and after the intervention will be measured using universal goniometer to assess the change in cranial vertebral angle at 3 months compared to baseline.
