Forward head posture adalah salah satu kelainan postur dimana kepala mengarah ke depan pada bidang sagital menjauhi dari garis vertikal bahu, ini dapat ditandai dengan tidak segarisnya kepala dengan bahu. Forward head posture sangat memengaruhi kehidupan manusia dimana dalam jangka panjang dapat menyebabkan nyeri leher kronis, gangguan ketegangan otot dan berpengaruh juga pada keseimbangan. Oleh karena itu identifikasi lebih lanjut terkait faktor dari forward head posture diperlukan untuk mengurangi angka kejadian di masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor risiko dari terjadinya forward head posture. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah literature review dengan menggunakan data dari jurnal-jurnal ilmiah yang didapat dari berbagai database jurnal ilmiah yang ada di internet. Jurnal ilmiah yang ditinjau adalah jurnal yang membahas topik tentang forward head posture, seperti definisi, faktor-faktor risiko dan prevalensi pada populasi. Berdasarkan hasil telaah jurnal didapatkan hasil bahwa forward head posture dapat terjadi apabila seseorang melakukan pekerjaan dengan postur atau sikap yang salah yaitu menekuk leher dan mencondongkan leher ke depan saat bekerja dan berulang kali dalam jangka waktu yang lama, dengan rerata durasi pekerjaan lebih dari 1 – 2,8 jam per hari. Jenis pekerjaan yang banyak menimbulkan forward head posture adalah penggunaan gawai, bekerja di depan komputer, membawa tas yang berat, dan pengoperasian mesin jahit.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a comprehensive corrective exercise program on the kyphosis angle and balance in kyphotic adolescents. A total of 62 male adolescents (between the ages of 10 and 18, mean BMI 21.7 kg/m2) with a thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle of ≥ 50° were divided into three groups using the simple randomization method: CCEP (comprehensive corrective exercise program), TEP (thoracic exercise program) and control group. The CCEP program consisted of corrective exercises plus postural perception training (PPT). Exercise programs were applied for 40–50 min, 3 days a week for 12 weeks. The kyphosis angle was measured using a flexible ruler, and balance was assessed using the Romberg index obtained from pedobarography. After training, a highly significant reduction in the kyphosis angle was observed in the CCEP and TEP groups (p < 0.001). Comparison among the groups showed a greater reduction in the kyphosis angle in the CCEP group (p < 0.020). Postural perception improved in the CCEP group versus other groups (p < 0.001). Improvement of the Romberg index (balance) was found only in the CCEP group upon within-group comparison (p < 0.001), with no difference among the groups (p > 0.05). The use of postural perception in combination with corrective exercise programs for thoracic kyphosis represents a comprehensive approach, and PPT can increase the effectiveness of the intervention.

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among people in Sri Lanka and as well as globally. The most accessible, inexpensive, and effortless method to detect early signs of breast cancer is Breast Self-Examination (BSE). Although data revealing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of BSE on regional and global levels have become more available in recent years, the extent of knowledge, attitude, and practice of BSE among Sri Lankan teachers have not been well studied. The lack of knowledge limits the ability of public officials, health providers, and researchers to adequately address and take remedial measures to this significant health crisis. The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice levels of BSE and to identify the association between participants' characteristics with the knowledge level.A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with the use of a pre-tested self-administered online questionnaire. Using Lwanga-Lemeshow equation, the sample size was calculated. A total of 275 female teachers from the government schools in the Kandy education zone, Gangawata Korale Division were assessed. Statistical analysis was done by the SPSS version 26. The data were interpreted by calculating the frequencies, and non-parametric independent sample tests were used accordingly.The study included 275 participants. Knowledge and attitudes regarding BSE of the participants were significantly associated with participants' ethnicity, religion, teaching subject/subject stream, residential area, and having a family history of breast cancer. Only one-third of the study participants had a good knowledge regarding BSE. The majority had a good attitude regarding BSE. Even though more than 90% of the study participants had heard about BSE, only 40.7% had practiced it. Though the knowledge level of the participants' regarding BSE is sufficient, there is a lack of practice among them. According to the total score given for the practice of BSE, 43.7% of the participants had good practice while a majority of 56.3% had a poor practice of BSE.Enabling education of teachers regarding breast cancer and screening in general, breast cancer complications, severity, and early detection strategies should be a priority in current efforts towards the establishment of lifelong habits like practicing BSE routinely.
