Purpose. This study was conducted to investigate the Effect of different postural correction exercises on forward head angle, degree of rounded shoulder in patients with forward head and rounded shoulder. Design. single blind randomized controlled trial Methods. 45 subjects were suffering from forward head and rounded shoulders. Their age ranged from 18 to 30 years. Participants were randomly divided into three equal groups. First group (A) received only forward head correction program. Second group (B) received only rounded shoulder correction program. Third group (C) received forward head correction program and rounded shoulder correction program. All participants received the treatment 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Craniovertebral angle, height of rounded shoulder was measured before and at the end of treatment program which continued for 12 sessions. Results. Statistical analysis using mixed design MANOVA showed that group (A), (B) and (C) revealed significant improvement in forward head and rounded shoulder post-treatment. Comparing the results among the three tested groups, it was revealed that there was no significant difference in the post-testing mean values of forward head and rounded shoulder between the three groups (A),(B) and (C) (p > 0.05) Conclusion: It was concluded that all interventions improved forward head and rounded shoulder so treatment of forward head may improve rounded shoulder deformity and treatment of rounded shoulder may improve rounded shoulder And that supports the theory that body segments affect each other.
