To Find If There Is Any Relationship Of Craniovertebral Angle With Short Deep Cervical Flexors Strength And Endurance, Suboccipital Muscle Length And Abdominal Endurance - Cross Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Background: Neck pain is common in the general population, with 70% of individuals affected at some time in their lives and 5% to 10% of adults having a disabling neck-pain problem. [8] Forward head posture is one of the common types of poor head posture seen in patients with neck disorders.[51] In this study we will find any correlation of craniovertebral angle with different variables. Objective: Forward head posture is a relatively frequent issue these days. It will develop many linked musculoskeletal diseases. So, purpose of my study is to determine whether the craniovertebral angle is correlated with different variables. By finding that one variable, we can prevent a lot of issues caused by forward head posture. Materials and Methodology: 30 subjects were randomly selected. Head Posture was calculated using Photography Method. Deep Cervical Strength was measured using CCFT. Suboccipital Length was measured using Inclinometer. Abdominal Endurance was measured using Abdominal Endurance Test. Results: Data analysis showed that there is no correlation of craniovertebral angle with short deep cervical flexors strength and endurance, suboccipital muscle length and abdominal endurance.Discussion: Subjects were aware of the fact that they were being evaluated for posture and therefore were able to alter or adjust their posture prior to collection of data. This could result in little variability between relaxed and best posture because students had already altered their normal posture. Conclusion: The study's findings indicate that there is no discernible relationship between craniovertebral angle and the strength and endurance of the short deep cervical flexors, suboccipital muscle length, or abdominal endurance.
