IRCT20200203046364N1 IRCT 2021-11-18 university of Isfahan The effect of a 8-week exercise program on head posture, muscle strength and muscle activity and neck and shoulder range of motion Effect of eight week corrective exercise programme on pasture, Electromyography. Isokinetic strength and range of motion shoulder and neck in person with forward head posture 2021-07-11 anticipated 35 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/57241 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: computer-based randomization was performed in a 1:1 ratio to exercise group or control group, using computer-generated permuted-block randomization ( Random Allocation software version 1.0) with a random block size of 4 and 6. Sealed opaque envelopes were used to conceal random allocation. According to the sample size, letter envelopes were prepared and each of the random sequences was recorded on the card and placed in the letter envelopes, respectively. The letter envelopes were then stapled and placed in a box. Envelopes were also numbered in the same order to maintain a random sequence. Each participant opened one of the envelopes and thus allocation to each group was determined, Blinding description: In this study, the assessors did not know which of the participants in the groups was being evaluated. To blind the assessors, they were not aware of the grouping of individuals (which group they were a member of). Also, the data analyzer was not aware of group allocation of participants. For this purpose, the data of groups was provided to the data analyzer in such a way that he was not informed about the grouping of individuals. N/A forward head posture. Intervention 1: Intervention group: The training program included stretching, strengthening, and stabilization exercises This 8-week training program will be performed with three sessions per week, each lasting <50 minutes. To enhance exercise efficacy, exercise variation was set according to the ACSM recommendations. All training sessions contained three phases: standard warm-up, the main part, and cool-down. the duration of the stretching exercises will be 30 seconds for the initial sessions, which will be added five more seconds every two weeks . Carnicervical flextion training consisted of movements that will be done without any load in prone and quadruped positions; and progression in these movements will be based on an increase in the repetition of correct movement, duration of holding given position, and the range of motion, as well. Intervention 2: Control group: Control group: will not do any special exercises, they are only asked to avoid participating in overhead activities or any strengthening activities that affect the upper quadrant area. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: related data about outcomes When: one year after the publication of the article To whom: researchers, university students Conditions: for study porpose Where to obtain: Gholam Ali Ghasemi.

Muscle activity of neck and scapular muscle activity. Timepoint: before after corrective exercise implementation. Method of measurement: A portable surface EMG device (DataLog p3X8, Biometrics, UK). Neck range of motion. Timepoint: Before training and one week after the end of the training program. Method of measurement: Neck range of motion assessed in sagittal plane by Universal goniometer (baseline, USA). Head angle. Timepoint: Before training and one week after the end of the training program. Method of measurement: by A digital camera ( sony 14 megapixel, Japan) according photogrammetric method. Isiokinetic strength of shoulder. Timepoint: Before training and one week after the end of the training program. Method of measurement: shoulder strength was measured at 45 degree of shoulder abduction and 90 degree of elbow flexion by isokinetic dynamometer ( biodex system 4 ). university of Isfahan Approved 2018-02-24 Ethics committee of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences Azadi Sq., Isfahan university, sport science faculty Isfahan Isfehan Iran (Islamic Republic of)
