Abstract

Objective: One of the most common faulty posture of CERVICAL SPINE is FORWARD HEAD POSTURE (FHP). According to biomechanical changes in the muscles and ligaments of the neck which are rich source of mechanoreceptors, in FORWARD HEAD POSTURE there is the possibility for the proprioception to be impaired. Assessment of neck repositioning angles can be an indicator to assess proprioception of this region. The aim of this study was to investigate cervical proprioception in FORWARD HEAD POSTURE subjects in sagittal plane and compare it with normal subjects.Materials & Methods: This is a case-control study and subjects were selected by available sampling from students of Iran University of Medical Sciences. Eighteen subjects with FHP (mean age 23.18 years) and twenty two normal subjects (mean age 22.72 years) were participated in this study. Photography of sagittal view was done in standing posture to determine the amount of FHP, as well as craniovertebral angle (CVA) and the angle less than 49 degree was considered as FHP. Reposition error of target angle (50% range of motion) and neutral angle in sagittal plane with close eyes in sitting posture was evaluated with motion analysis system. The absolute and constant error of repositioning were analyzed by independent t-test.Results: Absolute error did not show significant difference between two groups (P>0.05), but constant error of neutral angle when return from forward flexion showed significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Also a significant correlation was found between body mass index (BMI) and CVA. This means that increase in BMI could result in decrease of CVA (P<0.05).Conclusions: Results of the present study indicated that subjects with FHP had more REPOSITIONING ERROR in some cervical movements related to the healthy individuals.
