简要总结
Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common postural deformities, which affects 66% of the patient population and this study will be designed to investigate the effect of interactive virtual reality device on cervical proprioception and range of motion in symptomatic forward head posture.
详细描述
Thirty subjects of both sex with ages ranging from 20-24 years and BMI ranging from 18-25 kg/m² with symptomatic forward head posture will be participated in this study. They will be assigned randomly to two groups. Group A will receive traditional treatment (chin tuck exercise for posture correction); 3 min each day for 4 weeks, three sets of 10 repetitions (each repetition was held for 5 sec) were performed. Group B will receive the same as group "A" and received VR training by Xbox Kinect 360 (15 min per session 3 times per week) for 4 weeks. Cervical joint position error (JPE) (CROM device) and cervical range of motion will be measured pre and post treatment.
