About this study
Official title: The Correlation Between Forward Head Posture; Neck Pain, Neck Functional Ability and Deep Neck Core Strength in Jordanian University Students Having Chronic Non-specific Pain
Is forward head posture correlated with neck pain, neck functional ability and deep neck core strength in Jordanian university students having chronic nonspecific pain.
Read the detailed description
The study is an observational cross sectional study considering the effects of one of the most common spinal deformities such as forward head posture on the quality of life regarding Jordanian university students. University students are among the most common populations having these kinds of deformities because of using smart devices and studying for along periods of time in a faulty posture. 60 students "both male and females" having forward head posture with neck pain will be included in the study and different outcome measure as pain , functional ability and deep neck core strength will be measured to define the impact of this faulty posture on them. Pain measurement will be through using numeric rating scale for pain.
