Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a condition marked by the anterior placement of head, often leading to musculoskeletal issues. Proprioception training, which improves body awareness and movement, has been proposed as potential intervention for FHP. Methods: A detailed search was conducted using databases such PubMed, Google Scholar, Sci-Hub, focusing on studies published since 2013. T...
