Comparison of Prefrontal Hemodynamic Responses and Balance Control Differences Based on Head Posture and Task Difficulty in Cognitive-Balance Tasks

NCT06850077 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 38

Last updated 2026-01-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* Recent studies have shown that individuals with forward head posture (FHP) experience not only impaired balance control but also cognitive deficits.
* Using a balance-cognitive dual-task paradigm, this study aims to explore the relationship between balance ability and Prefrontal cortex(PFC) oxygenation levels(△HbO2) in individuals with FHP compared to those with normal head posture(NHP).
* By analyzing differences in frontal lobe activation based on task difficulty, this study is expected to provide practical data for designing balance training and cognitive-motor intervention programs tailored to individuals with FHP.

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture
  • Normal Head Posture

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive-Balance dual task

The cognitive-balance dual task consists of three levels of difficulty and is performed simultaneously. The cognitive tasks include the N-back test, while the balance tasks consist of static balance tasks.
