Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is defined as an excessive anterior position of the external auditory meatus in relationship to the shoulder. High prevalence of FHP was found among the young population in Malaysia. However, limited little evidence and contradictory results that support effective interventions have been recognized. Objective: The main purpose of this study is to inquire the effectiveness of stabilizing exercises upon Craniovertebral angle among young population with forward head posture. Material and Methods: 20 students with forward heаd роsture were given stabilizing exercises for fоur weeks, 30 min/dаy, аnd 2 dаys/ week аt the mаin саmрus оf MАHSА University, Selаngоr Mаlаysiа, аnd MАHSА рhysiо сenter. Befоre giving intervention, the angle of Сrаniоvertebrаl wаs meаsured. Сrаniоvertebrаl angle wаs re-meаsured аfter twо weeks аnd аfter 4 weeks оf interventiоn. Results: Significant increase in the craniovertebral angle at 2- and 4-weeks intervention. Results showed a significance increase in CVA with stabilizing exercises (SEs) after 4 weeks intervention, stabilizing exercises (SEs) with mean difference of 4.399±3.03 SD and p value of 0.0001 Conclusion: It is concluded from the results of the study that Stabilizing exercises can be incorporated in a 4-week duration, twice per week, management of 18-27 young population with FHP.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise programs according to various music tempo on pain, posture, and function of automobile parts manufacturing workers. Design: Two-group pretest-posttest design. Methods: This study was an exercise program tailored to the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases were performed for a total of 4 weeks and 3 times a week for 60 minutes. The exercise program consisted of customized exercises according to the characteristics of the subject's musculoskeletal system. The subject provided music during the exercise program, and the group who applied the fast tempo music listened to the music of 120~140 bpm, and the group who applied the slow tempo music listened to the music of the low tempo of 60~80 bpm. Results: Significant differences were found in pain and physical function before and after the fast tempo music group and the slow tempo music group (p<0.01). However, there was a significant difference in posture characteristics only in the fast tempo music group (p<0.01). In terms of pain, physical function, and posture characteristics, the fast tempo music group showed significant improvement compared to the slow music tempo group (p<0.05). Conclusions: A customized exercise program using fast-tempo music and slow-tempo music to workers in the automobile parts manufacturing industry, significant differences in pain, physical function, and posture characteristics applied with fast-tempo music were found. In the future, applying an exercise program with a fast tempo is expected to help improve musculoskeletal disorders.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of scapula movement on neck alignment and the muscles in patients with forward head posture, who has the structural changes around the neck caused from the forward head posture, when scapular stabilization exercise is applied. [Subjects and Methods] A sample of 30 patients with forward head posture were recruited and participated in an intervention for 30 minutes a day, three times per week for 4 weeks. Fifteen patients were assigned to the scapular stabilization exercise group and the remaining 15 were assigned to the neck stabilization exercise group. Before the intervention, the craniovertebral angle (CVA), cranial rotation angle (CRA), and muscle activity of the muscles around the neck were measured. Four weeks later, these 3 factors were re-measured and analyzed. [Results] Within-group changes in CVA and CRA were observed in both groups and were statistically significant. Only the CVA group had a statistically significant between-group differences. Within-group changes in muscular activity were significant differences in all groups. Between groups, the lower back trapezius and serratus anterior showed statistically significant differences. [Conclusion] Scapular stabilization brought about improvement in posture through activation of the neck muscles, the lower trapezius, and the serratus anterior. Therefore, the intervention has a positive effect on neck alignment by reducing the compensatory movements of the muscles involved in forward head posture. Structural changes are observed.
