Topic: Effect of combining cervical traction and self-posture correction exercises on forward head posture in smartphone users – an experimental study. Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a postural problem that is caused by several factors including sleeping with the head elevated too high, extended use of computers, laptops & cell phones. Maintaining a continuous posture leads to damage to the ligaments around the neck. In addition, such a posture is caused by muscle fatigue and decreased physical activity. In order to treat forward head posture, it is necessary to consider the correct posture, work environment, and exercise therapy. Cervical traction has been applied widely in restoring the cervical lordosis and to relieve neck pain due to muscle spasm, nerve compression and general soft tissues stiffness. Cervico-scapulothoracic strengthening and stretching exercises can improve cervical and scapulothoracic alignment properly and can also correct and prevent poor posture. Objective: To find the effect of combination of cervical traction and self-posture exercise in forward head posture in smartphone users at the end of 4 weeks protocol Methodology: Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution. Informed consent was taken from the participants. Participants were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Purpose of study and procedure was explained to participants. Pre-intervention measures were noted. Cervical traction and self-posture correction exercises were given for 3days/week. Post-intervention measure was taken at the end of 4 weeks Result: Total 46 male and female of age group 18-25 years, with forward head posture volunteered to participate in the study. With no dropouts, 16 males (34.78%) and 30 (65.21%) females completed the 4 weeks protocol. There was statistically significant difference in craniovertebral angle measurement post values in the intervention group. The mean post intervention score in craniovertebral angle is 2.522 in the experimental group. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that 4 weeks of cervical traction along with self-posture correction exercises was found to be effective in increasing craniovertebral angle in forward head posture of smartphone users. It is suggested that researchers and practitioners consider this selected corrective program as a new method and replacement of former corrective exercises.
