Summary

Using computer for long hours is related to higher risk of computer related muscular disorders like forward head posture and neck pain. Deep cervical flexor muscles are important head-on-neck posture stabilizers thus their training may lead to improvement in forward head posture (FHP) and neck pain (NP).

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture
  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Craniocervical flexion training

PBU airbag was clipped together and folded in, fastened, and placed suboccipital. Uninflated pressure sensor was kept below the neck, so that it touched the occiput then inflated to a stable baseline pressure of 20 mmHg to just fill the space below the neck but not to push it into lordosis. Subjects were demonstrated the correct action of the deep cervical flexors that is gentle nodding of head as if saying "yes".
