Measurement of craniovertebral angle with Electronic Head Posture Instrument: Criterion validity.
This study evaluated the criterion-related validity of the Electronic Head Posture Instrument (EHPI) in measuring the craniovertebral (CV) angle by correlating the measurements of CV angle with anterior head translation (AHT) in lateral cervical radiographs. It also investigated the correlation of AHT and CV angle with the Chinese version of the Northwick Park Questionnaire (NPQ) and Numeric Pa...
متن کاملImmediate effect of forward head rounded shoulder posture corrective orthosis on craniovertebral and protraction-retraction angles
Introduction: Forward head posture, which occurs often in conjunction with increased curvature in the upper body and rounded shoulder, is one of the most common postural deviations. Over time, this poor posture can contribute to the development of neck pain and shoulder dysfunction. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design and develop a forward head rounded shoulder posture corrective ...

[Purpose] This study aimed to simultaneously investigate the activities of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and scalenus anterior muscle, which are agonists of neck and breathing accessory muscles, by implementing breathing exercises. [Subjects and Methods] Thirteen subjects were selected for the experimental group, which performed feedback respiratory exercises with McKenzie exercises, and 12 su...
متن کاملNintendo Wii remote controllers for head posture measurement: accuracy, validity, and reliability of the infrared optical head tracker.
PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy, validity, and reliability of a newly developed infrared optical head tracker (IOHT) using Nintendo Wii remote controllers (WiiMote; Nintendo Co. Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) for measurement of the angle of head posture. METHODS The IOHT consists of two infrared (IR) receivers (WiiMote) that are fixed to a mechanical frame and connected to a monitoring computer via a B...
متن کاملEffects of lumbar lordosis assistive support on craniovertebral angle and mechanical properties of the upper trapezius muscle in subjects with forward head posture
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lumbar lordosis assistive support (LLAS) on craniovertebral angle (CVA) and mechanical properties of the upper trapezius (UT) muscle in subjects with forward head posture (FHP). [Subjects and Methods] This study recruited 20 subjects with FHP. CVA and muscle tone, viscoelasticity, and stiffness of the UT were measured using Myoton...
