Summary

This study looked at how people with forward head posture (FHP) compare to those with normal head posture when doing tasks that require both thinking and balancing. 38 healthy adults aged 20-39 performed cognitive-balance tasks of varying difficulty while their brain activity and balance were measured. The goal was to understand the link between head posture, brain function, and balance control.
