Conditions
Brief summary
Correction of FHP is an integral part of physical therapy rehabilitation of cervical dysfunction (Jull et al., 2004). However, the lack of normative range for FHP makes it difficult for physiotherapists to decide on when to employ such intervention as well as when to consider treatment goals has been accomplished. Moreover, assessment positions may vary from one clinician to the other. In addition, some patients with neck dysfunction and/or vestibular symptoms may find it difficult to assume the upright posture. Hypothesis: FHP, as measured by the cranio-vertebral and gaze angles, will be significantly different between sitting, standing and supine lying positions.
Interventions
we will measure craniovertebral and gaze angles to about 70 normal male subjects from supine, sitting and standing positions.we will use photographic method to assess forward head posture measurements.
