Summary

To compare the effects of targeted cervical spine strengthening exercises and Kendall exercise in patients with forward head posture

Detailed description

Studies have evaluated the effect of Kendall's exercises and found it effective for recovery. Studies have also concluded that targeted strengthening of flexors reverse the symptoms. The purpose of this study will elaborate either there is a difference in time taken to achieve normal head alignment between a targeted muscle that is prone to weakness or a technique that involves strengthening of weakened muscle plus stretching of shortened muscles. As there is a vast variety of correcting exercise program in the literature, the decision to choose the best option may be challenging. This study may help physiotherapists to apply treatment that is directly directing the main culprit.
