Summary

Forward head posture is one of the most common postural deviation seen among visually impaired children and, it is characterized by hyperextension of upper cervical and flexion of lower cervical spine. These changes lead to muscle imbalance and resulting in weakness of the deep cervical flexors, shortening of the opposing cervical extensors and reduction in cervical range of motion. Muscle energy technique is a manual therapy technique using in the treatment of shortened muscles, muscle weakness, restricted joints range of motion. so this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of muscle energy technique on forward head posture and cervical mobility in visually impaired children.
