Detailed Description

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

The study focus on understanding Forward head posture (FHP). Forward head posture (FHP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by a shift of the head forward in relation to the vertical axis of the body. This condition increases the load on the cervical spine, causing discomfort, pain and impaired musculoskeletal function. The incidence of FHP has increased significantly due to sedentary lifestyles and prolonged use of electronic devices, making it a pressing problem for healthcare providers.
