postural correction exercises

Other

Exercises to improve posture like shoulder shrugging, chin tuckin, neck isometrics

Primary outcomes

  1. Smartphone Addicted scale - short version SAS-SV

    Time frame: 6 months

    It is used to measure smart phone addiction level. it is 10 items and self reported scale.

  2. goniometery

    Time frame: 6 months

    to measure cervical range of motion of flexion, extension, side bending and rotation.

  3. Cranio-vertebral angle

    Time frame: 6 months

    it is used to measure the degree of forward head posture. the angle will be less than 54 degree.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Propioception

    Time frame: 6 months

    will be measure by laser point method in which sequence of movement will be performed. the deviation from normal pattern will be measure in CM and angle of deviation. there will be two reading one with eye open and 2nd with eye close.
