Study probes hidden links between neck awareness and balance in slouching students
NCT ID NCT07577492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how well young adults with Upper Crossed Syndrome—a common postural problem from too much sitting and screen time—can sense their neck position, and how that relates to core stability and balance. Researchers will compare 24 affected university students with 24 healthy controls using simple tests like head repositioning, core endurance, and balance tasks. The goal is to uncover connections that could lead to better physical therapy for posture-related issues.
