About this study

In this study, the investigators investigate the muscle contraction according to posture change in patients with forward neck posture syndrome which was not revealed by 8 channel surface electromyography and provide accurate evaluation of forward neck posture syndrome in comparison with normal group and to be used as basic research data for the development of 8 channel electric stimulation therapy device.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy adults over the age of 20 who do not have any underlying disease that does not appeal to forward neck posture syndrome 2) Among adults who complained of chronic pain over three months, patients aged 20 years and over who were diagnosed with forward neck posture syndrome in a simple x-ray of the lumbar spine

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with severe neurological disorders (procedural hypertrophy), previous cervical surgery, impaired eye diseases, spinal deformations, rehabilitation for strengthening spinal muscles within the last three months and pregnant women

Treatment and study plan

cervical spine extension exercise

Behavioral

cervical spine extension exercise for 4 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from 8 Channel Surface Electromyography at 4 weeks

    Time frame: when patient enrolled and after 4 weeks

    measure the area and extent of muscle activation around the cervical vertebrae according to posture

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change the angle of cervical vertebrae from plain x-ray at 8 weeks

    Time frame: when patient enrolled and after 8 weeks

    measure the angle of cervical vertebrae
