What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Pain
Time frame: Before the first session and at the end of the treatment program ( one month)
Pain will be measured by visual analogue scale which is a valid and reliable scale for measuring pain starts with zero (represents no pain) and ends with 10 (represents maximum pain). -
Cervical range of motion
Time frame: Before the first session and after the end of the treatment program ( one month)
Cervical range of motion in will be measured by cervical range of motion basic assessment device (CROM) the angle of cervical range of motion will be recorded in degrees to determine the limitation in range of motion -
Disability measurement
Time frame: Before the first session and after the end of the treatment program ( one month)
Disability will be measured by neck disability index(NDI) is a valid and reliable scale. The NDI consists of ten questions in the following domains: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation. Scoring: Each question contains six answer choices, scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability). All section scores are -
Cervicovertebral angle
Time frame: Before the first session and after the end of the treatment program ( one month)
Cervicovertebral angle (CVA) Will be measure by kinovea: Normal range is between 55 and 86, If the angle is less than 50 degrees, it will be considered to be FHP. Adhesive markers (8 mm in diameter) will be placed on the participant's C7 spinous process and tragus of the ear. The physical therapist will observe the participant from the lateral side while standing and then take a picture of the pa
Sponsor's own description
sixty patients with forward head posture will be randomized to three groups Group A: will receive traditional treatment ( isometric exercise for deep neck flexors plus sub occipital release). Group B: will receive traditional treatment plus muscle energy technique for upper trapezius, elevator scapulae and sternocleidomastoid. Group C: will receive traditional treatment plus mulligan mobilization
