Summary

This study aims to determined the comparative effect of visual and pressure biofeedback on Pain,Disability and Range of Motion in young and middle aged adults diagnosed with forward head posture.

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture

Interventions

OTHER

Cervical Stabilization

Isometric stretching and strengthening exercises of Neck flexor muscle including suboccipitalis, levator scapulae,scalnae anterior and upper trapezius. Each exercise hold for 6 second and then release and repeated 10 times respectively 3 times in a week for 4 weeks. Therefore, the total exercise time will be 5-10 mints.

DEVICE

Pressure Biofeedback

In this method patients in supine position. Sphygmomanometer is used and 100 mmHg pressure will be maintained before the treatment start then cuff will be placed under the occiopit of spine and patient will be asked to press the cuff against the occiopit until gauze show target pressure then hold this position for 6 second and release. Repeated this pressure to 10 times, 3 times in a week for 4 weeks. Therefore, the total exercise time will be 5-10 mints. Baseline Treatment Before starting the session participants received moist heat pack and soft tissue massage on cervical for 10 to 15 mints followed by movement control training.

DEVICE

Visual Biofeedback

In this method Led Head Band light will be used as a visual feedback. Patients in sitting or standing position with neck straight with the alignment of front wall marking followed by control movement training. Patient will be asked to follow the marking through head band light while performing motion control training. Each exercise hold for 6 second and then release and repeated 10 times respectively 3 times in a week for 4 weeks. Therefore, the total exercise time will be 5-10 mints. Baseline Treatment Before starting the session participants received moist heat pack and soft tissue massage on cervical for 10 to 15 mints followed by movement control training.
