Abstract
Background. A fault posture of head can disturb the body balance. Forward head posture (FHP) is one of common faulty postures seen among university students. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a quick method of neuromuscular training used to increase muscle strength, improve dynamic balance control and eventually correct posture.
Purpose. A randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate the effect of WBV training on craniovertebral angle and dynamic balance control in subjects with forward head posture.
Methods. Forty-five participants (11 males and 34 females, 18-23 years old) were randomly allocated into 3 equal groups: group (A) received traditional treatment (stretching and strengthening exercises) + postural advices, group (B) received whole body vibration training + postural advices, group (C) received traditional treatment + whole body vibration training + postural advices, 3 sessions /week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures included craniovertebral angle (CVA), overall stability index (OSI), anteroposterior stability index (APSI) and mediolateral stability index (MLSI) that were assessed at baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention.
Results.  Comparing all groups post training revealed that there were statistically significant increases (p < 0.05) in all measured variables (CVA, OSI, APSI and MLSI) in favour of group (C), while there were statistically non-significant differences between group A & B (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. The conjugation of WBV training with traditional treatment of FHP improved craniovertebral angle and dynamic balance control in subjects with forward head posture.

Abstract
Background. Mechanical neck pain (MNP) is one of the most common disorders that originates from poor postural habits and bad ergonomics. Forward head posture (FHP) was highly correlated to MNP. Muscle energy technique (MET) and stretching are easy widespread therapeutic techniques that are known for their effects in improving tissue extensibility, relieving pain and promoting function.
Objective. A randomized controlled trial was designed to compare the effect of MET versus static stretching in terms of FHP, pain and disability in patients with MNP.
Methods. Thirty participants (3 males and 27 females, 18-30 years old) were randomly allocated into one of 3 groups: group (A) received MET+ hydrocollator pack+ postural education, group (B) received stretching and strengthening exercises+ hydrocollator pack+ postural education, group (C) control group received hydrocollator pack+ postural education, 3 sessions /week for 4 weeks. Evaluation was done pre-treatment, post-treatment and after 6-weeks of follow-up. Results: There were significant improvement (p<0.05) in all tested variables in all groups post-treatment except disability in control group. There was significant improvement of pain in all groups, disability in experimental groups and FHP in stretching group only at the follow-up. There were no significant differences between groups in all measured variables.
Conclusion. MET has equal effect to that of static stretching regarding pain and function even after 6-weeks of follow-up. Stretching showed better improvement in FHP correction that persists. Postural education is effective in pain management and seems to have a role in preserving long-term outcome.

Nehal G. Omran, Amel M. Yousef, Hamada A. Hamada, Ayman Gouda Matar, Doaa A. Osman – Effect of Forward Head Posture on Temporomandibular Joint Proprioception in Post-Pubertal Females: An Observational Study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(2); 142-146

摘要
目的。探讨前位头部错姿（FHP）对青春期后女性的颞下颔关节（TMJ）本体感觉的影响。
材料和方法。共40名青春期后女性参与研究，她们将背依照颅锥角（CVA）分为两组。前位头部错姿（FHP）组的CVA小于48° (n=21)，而对照组的CVA大于48° (n=19)。通过游标卡尺测量两组女性的TMJ复位的准确度。
结果。统计分析显示两组间在睁眼或闭眼的TMJ各方向复位（张口、突出和侧向运动）间无显著差异（p>0.05）。
结论和讨论。在青春期后女性中FHP对所有方向的TMJ本体感觉都没有负面影响，无论眼睛是张开或闭合。
