“…Head posture is also a difficult concept to capture in a single quantity. In the literature, different methods have been suggested to do so through measurements made on lateral photographs (Cureton, 1941; Darling et al ., 1984; Braun, 1991; Hackney et al ., 1993; Lee et al ., 1995) or on radiographs (Solow & Tallgren, 1976; Huggare & Raustia, 1992; Visscher et al ., 1998). During the investigations, the participant often attained the so‐called mirror position of the head while standing (Darling et al ., 1984; Huggare & Raustia, 1992; Hackney et al ., 1993; Lee et al ., 1995) or sitting (Braun et al ., 1991; Hackney et al ., 1993).…”

“…A free‐hanging plumb line defined the true vertical on the photographs. Head posture was defined as the angle between the horizontal plane and a line between the tragus of the ear and the skin overlying the tip of the seventh cervical spinous process (Cureton, 1941) (Fig. 1).…”

“…The forward head posture also implies a relatively extended upper cervical spine and a relatively flexed lower cervical spine (McKenzie 2006) and has been associated with neck and shoulder pain (Haughie et al 1995). Cureton (1941) found that the mean sagittal plane head posture angle (also called the craniovertebral angle, measured between a line through the seventh cervical spinous process and the tragus of the ear and a horizontal line through C7) in more than 600 men was 53.68 anteriorly and Raine and Twomey (1997) reported the value to be 48.98 anteriorly in 160 adults. Any decrease in this angle (i.e.…”

“…Therefore, the positions of the head and the curve of the neck have to be mechanically in harmony to reduce any unnecessary stressful load that can cause neck pain. [ 7 ] A proper posture can be easily described with two spots, the centre of one ear and the edge of a shoulder. When the two points lie in a straight line that is at a right angle to the ground, the mass is properly supported; this is the normal posture as shown in Figure 2 .…”
