Postural Rehabilitation for Visual Dysfunction in Forward Head Posture

Postural Rehabilitation Through Motor Control Versus Sensor-based Biofeedback Training for Visual Dysfunction in Forward Head Posture

Sponsor

Riphah International University

Enrollment

72 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Forward Head Posture

Summary

This assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of motor control training, sensor-based biofeedback training using a wearable inertial measurement unit, and standardized postural correction exercises on mild visual dysfunction in university students with forward head posture. The trial seeks to establish whether targeted postural rehabilitation can produce measurable improvements in validated visual and sensorimotor outcomes.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 30 Years

Interventions

OTHERmotor control training

the intervention will be a progressive training starting from the stationary, no inertia and no object manipulation to in motion with inertia and with object manipulation taking help of sitting standing and stepping stairs like activities keep the head in normal position with the help of a laser gun. the intervention duration is 45 minutes/day, with three sessions per week for 4 weeks.

DEVICESensor development training group

the sensor will be being placed at cervical vertebrae C7 measuring current craniovertebral angle with the threshold being set at 50 degrees. the real time feedback will be shown on the mobile app. and the data will be recorded for whole intervention time. the intervention duration is 45 minutes/day, with three sessions per week for 4 weeks.

OTHERconventional posture training

the strengthening of deep neck flexors and retractors and stretching of pectoralis major and cervical extensors will be done using intervention duration is 45 minutes/day, with three sessions per week for 4 weeks.
