Summary

The aim of this research is to determines Combined Effect of Kendall exercises with Wearable vibrotactile feedback Sensor on Forward Head Posture correction on neck pain, and improving craniovertebral angle and muscle thickness. Randomized controlled trials at Fauji Foundation Hospital and Margalla Institute of health sciences . The sample size was 64. The subjects were divided in two groups, 32 subjects will be included in wearbable sensors and kendall exercises group and 32 will be in Kendell exercise alone . Study duration will be 12 months. Sampling technique applied will be non probability convinience sampling technique. Participants eligible for recruitment in this study will include young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 years. Eligible participants must also present with a craniovertebral angle (CVA) of less than 50 degrees, a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18.5-30 kg/m², and a daily screen time of less than five hours. Data will be analyzed through SPSS version 26.
