Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
• Do Scapulothoracic exercises given in addition to cervical posture exercises have an effect on postural stability, proprioception, muscle strength, muscular endurance and mandibular functions in individuals with Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular malalignment?
Researchers will compare conventional neck exercises (control group) and scapulothoracic exercises applied in addition to conventional neck exercises (treatment group) to see the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on the neck and jaw area.
