Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the immediate effects of cranio-cervical flexion exercises and correct posture training on upper extremity and trunk kinematics during functional activities in young adults with neck pain.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the immediate cranio-cervical flexion and posture training improve postural control and induce immediate changes in individuals with neck pain?
* Does this training intervention enhance functional movement and daily activity performance from a kinematic analysis perspective?

Participants will:

Undergo a baseline assessment, where sociodemographic and physical data will be recorded using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI).

Receive cranio-cervical flexion and correct posture training as an intervention, after which the evaluation will proceed immediately.

Perform functional activities (typing, talking on the phone, eating, lifting a load), with each activity being repeated three times, and these will be evaluated using 3D kinematic analysis with the Movella XSens (MVN Awinda) system.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

The immediate craniocervical flexion and correct posture training

The craniocervical flexion and correct posture training were given immediately during the assessment, with no follow-up sessions or long-term interventions. The focus was solely on providing the training at that moment, without any prolonged or repeated exercises.
