Abstract
Background: Forward head posture and rounded shoulders are two of the most common postural deviations in people of all ages and many studies were done to clearly determine the close relation between forward head and rounded shoulder deformities and the most effective treatment. The purpose: To investigate the Effect of different postural correction exercises on forward head angle, degree of rounded shoulder and cervical range of motion in subjects with forward head and rounded shoulder. Material and methods: 45 subjects were suffering from forward head and rounded shoulders. Their age ranged from 18 to 30 years .Subjects were randomly divided into three equal groups. group A received only forward head correction program. group B received only rounded shoulder correction program.group C: received forward head correction program and rounded shoulder correction program .photographic analysis was used to measure forward head angle ,supine method was used to measure rounded shoulder and clinometer application was used to measure cervical range of motion before and at the end of treatment program which continued for 12 sessions. Results: Statistical analysis using mixed design MANOVA showed that group (A), (B) and (C) revealed signigicant improvement in forward head and rounded shoulder post{u2011}treatment (p<0.05). Comparing the results among the three tested groups, it was revealed that there was no significant difference in the posttesting mean values of forward head and rounded shoulder between the three groups (A),(B) and (C) (p > 0.05)
