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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help design better balance training and cognitive-motor programs for people with forward head posture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study in healthy adults, so results may not apply to people with pain or other conditions. It does not test a treatment.

Who is studied

Participants will be recruited from Samyook University(Seoul, South Korea) or local communities in Daegu or Seoul, South Korea. Recruitment will primarily target individuals who regularly engage in academic or sedentary activities. The study population will consist of individuals classified based on postural characteristics, specifically Forward Head Posture (FHP) or Normal Head Posture (NHP), assessed using craniovertebral angle (CVA) measurements. Recruitment will take place through campus advertisements, online postings, and word-of-mouth referrals.
