Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate efficacy of adding Scapular Stabilization Exercises to postural correctional exercises on Endurance of cervical flexor and extensor muscles on Asymptomatic forward head posture.

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture

Interventions

OTHER

scapular stabilization exercise

In the supine position, the subject will instruct to take a deep breath to relax the body. In croock-lying position, the subject will raise his dominant arm to 90° shoulder flexion with full elbow extension and scapular protraction. In the quadruped position, the subject lifts up his arms alternatively with shoulder abduction and 120 ° flexion. In a sitting position with 90° knee flexion on a stool or bed without back support, the subject held a pair of dumbbells (2 kg) in each hand and laterally lifted them up while maintaining the height of scapulae below 80°. Each stage will instruct to be held for 10 seconds before returning to the starting position and three laps of 10 repetitions with a 30-second break in between will perform. In the sitting position, a mirror will place in front of the patient. The subject will instruct to check and correct his posture by him

OTHER

postural correction exercise

The program consisted of two strengthening (deep cervical flexors and scapular retractors) and two stretchings: cervical extensors (sub-occipital muscles) and pectoral muscles). The program was based on a program by Harman and Kendall.
