简要总结
to investigate the effect of cervical stability training on somatosensory evoked potential and cervical spine in forward head posture
详细描述
The use of electronic tools is increasing in worldwide varieties and the attractiveness of these tools lead to variety of groups of people, especially teenagers, using them for prolonged period of time leading to increased musculoskeletal problems. Excessive use of smartphones for long period of time can lead to decreased postural control and forward head postur (FHP) as phone users maintain an abnormal alignment of the head and neck. The habit of repetitive use of computers, TV, mobile phones, and video games and even back packs forces the body to exhibit bad posture. The overall prevalence of FHP was reported to be 66% in computer based workers.
cervical stability training play a major role in treatment of forward head posture so this study will be conducted to investigate its role on craniovertebral angle, cervical range of motion, pain intensity level, functional disability, neck flexor and extensor muscles endurance, lordotic cervical curvature, somatosensory evoked potential in forward head patient.
