Summary

Forward head posture (FHP) is defined as the position in which the head is in front of the shoulder and is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems caused by the increasing use of computers and smartphones. Posture analysis, pulmonary function test, respiratory muscle strength and endurance assessment, and performance test will be performed as the initial evaluation for those who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the study. Participants with a craniovertebral angle of 50 degrees and less than 50 degrees will be included in the head forward posture (FHP, n=34) group, and participants with an angle of more than 50 degrees will be included in the control group (CG, n=34).Participants with HFP will be randomly divided into two groups as study (FHP-S, n=17) and control (FHP-C, n=17). An inspiratory muscle strength training program will be applied to the FHP-C group for 7 days/6 weeks. All assessments performed before the training will be repeated after 6 weeks of inspiratory muscle strength training. No inspiratory muscle strength training will be applied to the FHP-C group. Participants in the CG group will not undergo any additional assessment or training.
