FORWARD HEAD POSTURE

This study looked at whether adding kinesio taping to posture correction exercises could reduce tension-type headaches in university students. Fifty-two students aged 18-25 with frequent headaches took part. The results showed that the combination approach may help lower headache…

This study tested two different hands-on treatments for people with mechanical neck pain and forward head posture. Forty-five adults aged 20-60 were split into three groups: one received upper cervical mobilization, another received a muscle energy technique, and a control group …

This study tested two different neck exercise programs in 30 teenagers with forward head posture (often called 'text neck'). One program focused on stabilizing the neck muscles, while the other focused on improving neck position sense. The goal was to see which better improved th…

This study tested a hands-on muscle technique (MET) on 60 young adults aged 18-23 with forward head posture. The goal was to see if it could improve head and shoulder angles. Participants had no neck or shoulder pain. The study measured changes in posture angles and pain sensitiv…

This study tested two treatments for forward head posture, a common problem from slouching that can cause neck pain. Forty adults with poor posture were split into two groups: one got special tape applied to their neck, and the other did corrective exercises. Researchers measured…

This study looked at whether a gentle hands-on technique to the top of the neck (atlanto-occipital joint mobilization) can immediately improve head posture, breathing, and neck movement in adults with forward head posture. 54 healthy volunteers aged 18-45 with forward head postur…

This study looked at 44 adults with forward head posture and eye strain to compare two treatments: oculomotor exercises (eye movements) and muscle energy technique (a gentle muscle therapy). The goal was to see which better reduces visual fatigue, improves neck position, and boos…

This study tested two exercise programs—scapular retraction exercises and the McKenzie method—in 116 university students with forward head posture. Both groups did their assigned exercises for 20 minutes, three times a week for eight weeks. The goal was to see which approach bett…

This study explored whether having a forward head posture (where your head juts forward) changes how well you sense your knee's position and how steady you are. Researchers measured knee joint awareness and balance in 70 adults aged 18-35, comparing those with forward head postur…

This study looked at whether specific exercises could help competitive swimmers with shoulder pain and poor posture, like a forward head and rounded shoulders. 42 high school swimmers with these issues took part. The goal was to see if exercise could improve their posture angles,…

This study looked at how forward head posture (FHP) affects brain activity and balance during tasks that require thinking and moving at the same time. Researchers measured brain oxygen levels and balance in 38 healthy adults with either FHP or normal head posture. The goal was to…

This study reviewed how age, weight, and technology use contribute to poor posture like forward head and rounded shoulders in children aged 6-18. Researchers analyzed existing data from 100 participants to understand the mix of growth and daily habits. The goal is to help schools…

This study examined 80 healthy university students aged 18-26 to see how forward head posture relates to neck movement accuracy, muscle endurance, and heart-lung function during tasks that require thinking. Researchers measured how well students could sense neck position, how lon…
