Asthma (Diagnosis) With Forward Head Posture

Keywords

AsthmaBreathing exercisesDyspneaPosture rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Universal goniometer
Forward head posture was assessed using a universal goniometer by measuring the craniovertebral angle .The CVA is defined as the angle formed between a horizontal line passing through the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra(c7) and a line connecting to the tragus of the ear. A smaller CVA reflects increased anterior head displacement and reduced cervical lordosis. A CVA of \>50 considered normal , values between 40 to 49 considered mild forward head posture while a CVA \<40 represents moderate to severe forward head posture.
