Brief Summary

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

Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common postural deformities, which affects 66% of the patient population and this study will be designed to investigate the effect of interactive virtual reality device on cervical proprioception and range of motion in symptomatic forward head posture.

Detailed Description

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

Thirty subjects of both sex with ages ranging from 20-24 years and BMI ranging from 18-25 kg/m² with symptomatic forward head posture will be participated in this study. They will be assigned randomly to two groups. Group A will receive traditional treatment (chin tuck exercise for posture correction); 3 min each day for 4 weeks, three sets of 10 repetitions (each repetition was held for 5 sec) were performed. Group B will receive the same as group "A" and received VR training by Xbox Kinect 360 (15 min per session 3 times per week) for 4 weeks. Cervical joint position error (JPE) (CROM device) and cervical range of motion will be measured pre and post treatment.

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Kinect sensor is an infrared camera that can recognize the positions and motions of the player without the need for special controller. The console controls the various games .For the VR training, the Xbox Kinect, console, and monitor will set up in a dedicated space. The patient will placed 1.5-2 m away from the Kinect sensor.
