Summary

Currently, as digital leisure activities increase, more time is spent at home. According to these social trends, it is necessary to establish a program that can safely and effectively perform exercise at home.Therefore, this study assumed that if the trigger point and tension of the upper trapezius are resolved by applying ESWT before implementing the exercise program, it will have a significant effect on pain, functional aspects, and posture improvement. On this account, investigator would like to study the effect of applying ESWT before conducting the exercise program on the muscle activity ratio, craniovertebral angle, pressure pain threshold, and Neck disability index in adults with FHP.

  • Extracorporeal Shock Waves Therapy
  • Exercise Program

Interventions

DEVICE

Extracorporeal shock waves

Extracorporeal shock waves are non-invasive and simple treatments that are easy to apply to a wide surface and have fewer side effects with low intensity. In addition, there is an advantage of improving blood circulation through an increase in reactive blood flow and creation of new blood vessels.

BEHAVIORAL

Posture Correction Exercise Program

The exercise program mainly consists of stretching and muscle strengthening exercises, which have shown improvement effects in terms of head vertebrae and pain. In order to optimize the muscle activity between pairs due to FHP, the selected exercise should focus on providing an appropriate proportion of muscle activity for each other as well as muscle strength.
