Summary

PURPOSE: ……… The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of interval inspiratory muscle training on respiratory functions in subjects with forward head posture associated with chronic nonspecific neck pain

BACKGROUND: Alteration of head and neck positions can have an immediate negative effect on respiratory function. Clinicians should be prompted to assess respiratory function when assessing individuals with FHP and decrease the tension on respiratory system to avoid consequence. Also FHP has a negative effect on chest expansion and diaphragmatic function

the incidence of forward head posture increases nowadays due to increase using of smartphones HYPOTHESES:: There will be no a significant effect of interval inspiratory muscle training on respiratory functions in chronic forward head posture subjects.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Will the interval inspiratory muscle training improve respiratory functions in subjects forward head posture associated with chronic nonspecific neck pain?

Conditions

  • FHD

Interventions

DEVICE

Threshold Inspiratory muscle trainer

threshold inspiratory muscle trainer device Each subject will breathe through a separate mouthpiece through attach the mouthpiece firmly While putting a nose clip and inhale deeply through the mouthpiece to generate an inspiratory pressure greater than the indicated presetting threshold pressure to compress the spring and open the valve. Using High - intensity interval training technique

OTHER

posture correction exercises

conventional exercise consists of * Cervical isometric exercises will be performed in the sitting position by resisting at the forehead (cervical flexion, extension, rotation and side bending) for 10 seconds with 15 seconds breaks between holds with 10-15 repetitions in a progressive manner 3time/week for 12 weeks. * Postural correction exercise consists of gently rolling of pelvis forward to an upright neutral sitting position, followed by scapular correction and occipital lift. Also, for the sub-occipital muscles stretching * stretching exercises for scalene and levator muscles
