Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: a. History of Cervical Spine Surgery or Trauma: Individuals with prior surgical intervention, whiplash injury, or vertebral fractures were excluded to avoid confounding biomechanical alterations unrelated to postural deviation. b. Neurological or Systemic Conditions: Participants with diagnosed neurological disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, Parkinson s disease), systemic inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), or metabolic disorders affecting musculoskeletal integrity were excluded. c. Current Use of Analgesics or Psychotropic Medications: Regular use of painkillers, antidepressants, anxiolytics, or antipsychotics was considered a confounding factor for both mechanosensitivity and psychological assessment. d. Diagnosed Psychiatric Illness: Individuals with clinically diagnosed psychiatric conditions (e.g., major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, schizophrenia) were excluded to ensure that psychological distress measured was posturally mediated rather than pre existing. e. Pregnancy or Postpartum Status: Due to hormonal and biomechanical changes affecting posture and pain perception, pregnant or recently postpartum women were excluded. f. Inability to Comprehend Assessment Tools: Participants unable to understand or complete the questionnaires in either English or Hindi were excluded to maintain data integrity. g. Engagement in Structured Postural Rehabilitation: Individuals currently undergoing physiotherapy, yoga, or ergonomic training specifically targeting cervical posture were excluded to avoid bias from therapeutic influence.
