Summary

The goal of the study is to compare various methods of correcting forward head posture in elderly subjects. In particular, we will contrast two methods: the conventional program, which aims to restore muscle balance, and the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) rehabilitation program, which relies on stretching the viscous and plastic elements of the longitudinal ligament and intervertebral disc in addition to effectively stretching the soft tissue throughout the entire body.

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture

Interventions

OTHER

Posture corrective exercises

The exercises are of two types strengthening exercises and starching exercise ,).

The participants will be instructed to lie supine and keep their legs extended. Based on the apex of each participant's cervical curvature on the initial radiograph, the therapist will position the apex of the denneroll in one of two regions (mid cervical placement or lower cervical placement). The duration of the traction session will start at 2-3 min and increased 1 min per session until reaching the goal of 20 min, the traction will repeated three times per week for 6 weeks
