Brief Summary:
In this randomized controlled experimental trial it is aimed to verify the effectiveness of applying the suboccipital inhibition technique in altering forward head posture increasing the craniovertebral angle and decreasing the angle between the chin the external acoustic meatus and the sternal angle
Detailed Description:
Forward head posture FHP is defined as misalignment of the head caused by anterior translation of the head in relation to the trunk The incidence rate of this postural alteration is 66 in individuals between the ages of 20 and 50
In order to diagnose this alteration two angles are used the craniovertebral angle CVA and the angle between the chin the external acoustic meatus and the sternal angle AMME with the CVA being the reference angle for diagnosing a FHP According to the literature when the CVA is less than 499º there is a FHP
We decided to use the suboccipital inhibition technique which according to Eileen DiGiovanna et al 2005 causes a decrease in muscle tension leading to their relaxation This relaxation according to Heredia Rizo et al 2012 has significant effects on increasing CVA which in turn will decrease AMME resulting in a positive change in FHP
