简要总结
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of adding Body-blade exercises to traditional treatment on posture, scapular muscles strength, neck pain, and function in individuals with forward head posture
详细描述
Many studies have proposed that the Body-blade may be a more effective tool for activating the muscles employed during the training and rehabilitation of the shoulder and trunk than traditional interventions such as cuff weights and Therabands. There is few literature which studied the effect of Body-blade exercises on neck problems. So there is insufficient evidence for their effectiveness on improving forward head posture.
