Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from 8 Channel Surface Electromyography at 4 weeks

    measure the area and extent of muscle activation around the cervical vertebrae according to posture

    when patient enrolled and after 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change the angle of cervical vertebrae from plain x-ray at 8 weeks

    when patient enrolled and after 8 weeks

Study Arms (1)

forward neck posture syndrome patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients diagnosed with forward neck posture syndrome in cervical plain X-ray have a cervical spine extension exercise for 4 weeks

Behavioral: cervical spine extension exercise

Interventions

cervical spine extension exercise for 4 weeks

forward neck posture syndrome patients
