Effect of Postural Realignment on Postural Stability and Visual Reliance in Older Adults

NCT05032274 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is 1) to investigate correlation between cervical spine joint position error (JPE) and postural stability in asymptomatic older adults with forward head posture (FHP), 2) to examine the effect of a home-based exercise program on visual reliance and cervical spine proprioception for postural stability in asymptomatic older adults with FHP, 3) to study the effect of immediate postural correction on cervical spine JPE and active range of motion (AROM), and 4) to determine participant post-intervention perception of changes in FHP, postural stability and effect on quality of life.

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture

Interventions

OTHER

Home-based Exercise Program

The exercise program will include chink tuck and shoulder retraction exercises. The chin tuck exercise will be performed in standing position. The shoulder retraction exercise includes activation and strengthening components. The activation component will be performed in standing position and strengthening component will be performed in prone position.
