[ evaluation of cervical position sense in forward head posture subjects and compares it with normal subjects]

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, proprioception possibly impaired in forward head posture. 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:
