Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: The aim of present study is to explore the effectiveness of pressure bio feedback in treatment of occupational forward head posture on computer users.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Material \& Methods: This Randomized Control Trial was conducted in Bahria University College of Physical Therapy, Karachi. Ethical approval was prior taken from Institute Review Board. there were 32 participants selected randomly equally in experimental and control group. Both male and female were included with age of 25 to 55 years currently employees of Bahria University (BUMDC) having forward head posture or complaining neck pain were included. Exclusion was age less than 25 years, history of cervical trauma or surgery, any neurological conditions or cervical pathology. Experimental Group was given DCF exercises with Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU) and Control Group was given Conventional DCF Exercises. SPSS version 23.0 was used for analysis.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

pressure bio feedback

Intervention Type DEVICE

The pressure biofeedback unit was placed between the plinth and the posterior aspect of the neck just below the occiput and inflated to a baseline of 20 mmHg. A trained physiotherapist was observing and correcting any substitution movements to ensure that all subjects could perform the exercises correctly. All exercise protocols and programs were taken from previously published studies8-10. A conventional DCF exercise protocol was performed three times a week for four weeks in both groups. The duration of the conventional DCF exercise protocol was 20-30 minutes, once a day in the control group, and 15-20 minutes, once a day in the experimental group
