HighlightsForward head posture (FHP) is a prevalent poor posture in patients with neck disorders.We compared the thickness of the cervical muscles in women with and without FHP.Women with FHP had significantly greater thickness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

The ratio of isometric force of the CC muscles (flexor to extensor) may be a good indicator for assessment of patients with FHP. This ratio may also be valuable to follow the results of therapeutic intervention for these patients.
