Acute Effects of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Added to Postural Corrective Exercises in Young Adults With Forward Head Posture
Panoramica dello studio
Stato
Condizioni
Descrizione dettagliata
Forward head posture is a common postural deviation in young adults and may be associated with altered cervicothoracic alignment, impaired cervical proprioception, and reduced cervical and scapular muscle endurance. Postural corrective exercises are commonly used in physiotherapy practice to improve head-neck posture and related neuromuscular control. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization may provide additional acute effects through mechanical stimulation of soft tissues and proprioceptive input.
This single-blind randomized controlled trial evaluated the acute effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization added to postural corrective exercises in young adults with forward head posture. Eligible participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three groups: instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization plus postural corrective exercises, postural corrective exercises only, or control. The control group received no intervention and was assessed at the same time intervals as the intervention groups. Outcome assessments were conducted by a blinded assessor at baseline and 1 hour after the intervention.
The primary outcome was craniovertebral angle, used as an indicator of forward head posture. Secondary outcomes included cervical joint repositioning error, deep cervical flexor muscle endurance, and scapular muscle endurance.

Sperimentale: Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Plus Exercise Group
Participants in this group received a single-session postural corrective exercise program and postural education in addition to instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization applied to the cervicothoracic region.
|
Participants received a single-session postural corrective exercise program and postural education in addition to instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.
The exercise program included deep cervical flexor activation using the chin tuck exercise, active cervical range-of-motion exercises, scapular exercises, and pectoral stretching.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization was applied bilaterally to the cervicothoracic region, including the upper and middle trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae, scalene, suboccipital, and cervical erector spinae muscles.
The mobilization was applied for approximately 10 minutes using appropriate instruments.

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Craniovertebral Angle
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 1 hour after the intervention
|
Craniovertebral angle was assessed using digital photographic postural analysis.
Markers were placed on the tragus of the ear and the spinous process of C7, and the angle was calculated from a lateral-view photograph.
Higher values indicate a more upright head posture.

|---|---|---|
|
Cervical Joint Repositioning Error
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 1 hour after the intervention
|
Cervical joint repositioning error was assessed using a laser pointer system during cervical flexion, extension, right and left rotation, and right and left lateral flexion.
Absolute repositioning error was calculated for each movement direction.
Lower values indicate better cervical joint position sense.
|
Baseline and 1 hour after the intervention
|
|
Deep Cervical Flexor Muscle Endurance
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 1 hour after the intervention
|
Deep cervical flexor muscle endurance was assessed using the cervical flexor endurance test.
The duration for which the participant could maintain the test position was recorded in seconds.
Higher values indicate greater muscle endurance.
|
Baseline and 1 hour after the intervention
|
|
Scapular Muscle Endurance
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 1 hour after the intervention
|
Scapular muscle endurance was assessed using the scapular muscle endurance test.
The duration for which the participant could maintain the required test position and resistance was recorded in seconds.
Higher values indicate greater muscle endurance.
