Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Self-Exercise only: Home-based self-directed exercise program without supervision
Professional exercise rehabilitation therapy: 10-week stretching and strengthening exercise program for a total of 20 sessions
Study summary
Recently, many office workers and young people have postural abnormalities, including forward head posture (FHP) and rounded shoulder posture (RSP). Most of these patients often complain of pain in the entire scapular area, including the trapezius muscle. Few studies examined the effectiveness of intervention exercises often used by clinicians to correct posture in these patients through training protocols.
To compare and analyze the changes in scapular position between normal people and patients with FHP and RSP and to evaluate the effect of exercise therapy for 3 months in these patients, including clinical results and changes in scapular position and cervical angle through objective data.
