Summary
This study looked at 49 women with forward head posture to see how the angle of their head relates to muscle thickness in the neck, abdomen, hips, and legs.

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 the results show clear links between head posture and muscle changes across the body, it could help doctors better assess and treat posture problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 49 women. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot prove what works for posture correction.
