Relationship Between Forward Head Posture and Sagittal Lumbopelvic Alignment Among Smartphone Users

NCT07633678 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 85

Last updated 2026-06-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Forward head posture is a common postural abnormality characterized by anterior positioning of the head in the sagittal plane. This posture may increase biomechanical stress on the cervical spine and may be associated with compensatory changes in spinal and lumbopelvic alignment.

This observational study will investigate the relationship between forward head posture and sagittal lumbopelvic alignment among male smartphone users aged 18 to 35 years. Craniovertebral angle will be measured using the APECS mobile application, and sagittal lumbopelvic alignment parameters will be measured using the Spine3D LiDAR system.

Conditions

  • Forward Head Posture
  • Sagittal Lumbopelvic Alignment
  • Postural Alignment

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Craniovertebral Angle Assessment Using APECS Mobile Application

The craniovertebral angle will be measured using the APECS mobile application to assess forward head posture. Participants with a craniovertebral angle equal to or less than 50 degrees will be considered to have forward head posture.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Sagittal Lumbopelvic Alignment Assessment Using Spine3D LiDAR

Sagittal lumbopelvic alignment will be assessed using the Spine3D LiDAR system by Sensor Medica. The measured parameters will include lordotic angle, lumbar arrow, and trunk inclination.
