Sponsor's own description
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of deep neck flexor strengthening and motor learning-based neuroplasticity training on craniovertebral angle, deep neck flexor strength, proprioception, and symptom recurrence in individuals with forward head posture (FHP). The study will be conducted at Riphah International University, Gulberg Green Campus. A total of 74 participants with forward head posture will be recruited using non-probability convenience sampling and randomly allocated into two groups (37 participants per group). Group A will receive deep neck flexor strengthening exercises, while Group B will receive motor learning-based neuroplasticity training. Both groups will undergo three sessions per week for four weeks. Assessments will be performed at baseline, post-intervention, and at one-month follow-up to assess symptom recurrence. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 27.
