NCT05579613

Brief Summary

Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common postural deformities, which affects 66% of the patient population and this study will be designed to investigate the effect of interactive virtual reality device on cervical proprioception and range of motion in symptomatic forward head posture.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Cervical propriception

    Assessment of cervical proprioception using cervical range of motion

    4 weeks

  • Cervical range of motion

    Assessment of cervical range of motion by CROM

    4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Interactive virtual reality device group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A will receive the same as group "B" and will receiveVR training by Xbox Kinect 360 (15 min per session 3 times per week) for 4 weeks. C

Device: Interactive virtual reality device

chin tuck exercise for posture correction (traditional treatment ) group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B will receive traditional treatment (chin tuck exercise for posture correction); 3 min each day for 4 weeks, three sets of 10 repetitions (each repetition was held for 5 sec) will be performed.

Device: Interactive virtual reality device

Interventions

The Kinect sensor is an infrared camera that can recognize the positions and motions of the player without the need for special controller. The console controls the various games .For the VR training, the Xbox Kinect, console, and monitor will set up in a dedicated space. The patient will placed 1.5-2 m away from the Kinect sensor.
