Who is studied

The study population will consist of adult males and females recruited from the university community and surrounding local community. Participants aged 18-35 years will be screened for eligibility. Eligible participants will be allocated into two cohorts based on head posture assessment using craniovertebral angle measurement: individuals with forward head posture and healthy individuals with normal head posture. Participants must be able to walk independently without assistive devices and have no history of neurological, musculoskeletal, vestibular, or visual disorders that may affect balance or gait performance.
