简要总结
it evaluates forward head posture (craniovertebral angle), resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression), and dynamic scapular kinematics (upward rotation, anterior-posterior tilt) between tension-type headache and controls.
详细描述
This study was conducted at the outpatient clinic, faculty of physical therapy, Sinai University, it evaluates forward head posture (craniovertebral angle), resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression), and dynamic scapular kinematics (upward rotation, anterior-posterior tilt) between tension-type headache and controls.

结局指标
主要结局
forward head posture (craniovertebral angle)
时间窗: at baseline
forward head posture (craniovertebral angle) Using the Smartphone application AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System (APECS), CVA will be measured. Patients or subjects will stand on the right lateral view, while an adjustable tripod will hold the mobile phone (iPhone 11) camera at shoulder height, positioned 1.5 meters from the patient for standardization. craniovertebral angle (CVA) is measured in degrees (°).
resting scapular alignment
时间窗: at baseline
resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression) is assessed using a modified digital inclinometer and recorded in degrees (°). The subject's resting scapular alignment of protraction, upward rotation, anterior tilt, and depression in a standing posture. Markers will be positioned on the inferior angle of the scapula, the posterolateral side of the acromion, and the scapular spine's root before scapular position measurements
Dynamic scapular kinematics
时间窗: at baseline
Dynamic scapular kinematics is assessed using digital inclinometer and recorded in degrees (°). The subject's scapular position will be measured during upward rotation, anterior tilt, and posterior tilt in a standing posture. Before the test, the landmarks will be determined before the measurement (scapula inferior angle, posterior lateral of the acromion, and scapula spine) and markers will be attached
