Forward Head Posture Differences in Tension Headaches
22. juli 2026 opdateret af: Amira saad mohamed, Cairo University
Scapular Kinematics and Forward Head Posture Differences in Tension Headaches
it evaluates forward head posture (craniovertebral angle), resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression), and dynamic scapular kinematics (upward rotation, anterior-posterior tilt) between tension-type headache and controls.

Studiebefolkning
Participants will be recruited using a non-probability convenience sampling method at the outpatient clinic, faculty of physical therapy, Sinai University, Egypt.
Cases are consisting of individuals diagnosed with tension-type headache.
Controls are healthy individuals without a history of tension-type headache.
Eligible participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and provide informed consent will be enrolled during the study period.

forward head posture (craniovertebral angle)
Tidsramme: at baseline
|
forward head posture (craniovertebral angle) Using the Smartphone application AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System (APECS), CVA will be measured. Patients or subjects will stand on the right lateral view, while an adjustable tripod will hold the mobile phone (iPhone 11) camera at shoulder height, positioned 1.5 meters from the patient for standardization. craniovertebral angle (CVA) is measured in degrees (°). |

|
resting scapular alignment
Tidsramme: at baseline
|
resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression) is assessed using a modified digital inclinometer and recorded in degrees (°).
The subject's resting scapular alignment of protraction, upward rotation, anterior tilt, and depression in a standing posture.
Markers will be positioned on the inferior angle of the scapula, the posterolateral side of the acromion, and the scapular spine's root before scapular position measurements
|
at baseline
|
|
Dynamic scapular kinematics
Tidsramme: at baseline
|
Dynamic scapular kinematics is assessed using digital inclinometer and recorded in degrees (°).
The subject's scapular position will be measured during upward rotation, anterior tilt, and posterior tilt in a standing posture.
Before the test, the landmarks will be determined before the measurement (scapula inferior angle, posterior lateral of the acromion, and scapula spine) and markers will be attached
