“…34 Similarly studies done by Meysham Goosheh et al (2018), Kyeong-Jin Lee et al (2015) comply with our study findings. 14,34 Muscle Energy Technique has shown to reduce error in cervical joint position sense which can be explained as:  MET induces relaxation of hypertonic musculature and, where appropriate, the subsequent stretching of the muscle. It has influence on both static and kinetic posture, because of the effects on proprioceptive and interoceptive afferent pathways.…”

Background: Forward Head posture (FHP) one of the most common postural disorder causes a change in the biomechanical movement, affect the length---tension relationship in the cervical muscles, increase muscular activity level and impair cervical proprioception. Cervical Retraction and Muscle Energy Technique (MET) have been proposed to improve joint proprioception. Objective: To assess and compare the effect between Cervical Retraction and Muscle Energy Technique on cervical joint position sense in individuals with forward head posture using head repositioning test. Method: This is a comparative study where 60 subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and assigned to Group A (n=30; Cervical Retraction) and Group B (n=30; Muscle Energy Technique) respectively. Proprioceptive exercises were given to both the groups. The intervention was given for 2 weeks-3 sessions per week. Error in Cervical Joint Position sense was assessed pre and post intervention using Head Repositioning Accuracy test. The data was collected and statistically analysed. Results: The study showed statistical significant reduction (p<0.05) in error in cervical joint position sense within the groups as well as between the groups for all the physiological movement (Flexion, Extension, Left Rotation and Right Rotation). Conclusion: Cervical Retraction as well as Muscle Energy Technique can be used to improve Cervical Joint position sense. However, Cervical Retraction is better as compared to Muscle Energy Technique. Keywords: Forward head posture, Cervical Joint Position sense, Cervical Retraction, Muscle Energy Technique, Head Repositioning Accuracy test.

“…Criteria to define variables CVA: 5 studies did not specify the criteria to diagnose FHP [6,22,24,25,28]. Various studies used different criteria for evaluating FHP, like CVA greater than 46° [15,19], less than 49° [18,27], less than 50° [16,20,21,23,26], and less than 52° [30].…”

“…FHP: Some variations were found in the analysed studies for the methods used in FHP calculation. overall, 12 studies applied the photogrammetry method, while others utilized the BioPrint postural analysis system [15], inclinometer [29], horizontal ruler bar [28], or a cervical range of motion device [22,24]. CVA was defined as the angle between the line connecting the tragus and C7 and the vertical line passing through C7, or the angle formed between the line joining the tragus and C7 and the horizontal line extending from C7.…”

Introduction. Forward head posture is a common postural deviation in people of all ages; however, the new online way of life could accentuate this disorder. it involves hyperextension of upper cervical vertebrae (C1-C3) and flexion of lower cervical vertebrae (C4-C7). The aim of the study was to examine the effect of different exercises on forward head posture. Methods. The electronic databases of PubMed and Cochrane Library (Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and international Clinical Trials Registry Platform) were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials or clinical trials that investigated different exercises for forward head posture published between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2020. The studies had to examine at least 1 of the following outcomes: pain, forward head posture parameters, Neck disability index, balance, and cervical position sense. PEdro score was used to assess the methodological quality of these studies. Results. overall, 19 studies were found that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. on assessing by PEdro scale, the methodological quality of the studies was 7/10. Conclusions. Stabilizing exercises and posture correction exercises are effective for the management of forward head posture. Adding manual therapy with these exercises could also be an effective way to treat forward head posture.
