Group B underwent the McKenzie exercise and Kinesio taping, and group C underwent Group A underwent the McKenzie exercise and Physical Therapy at Kangwon National University. Study was conducted with the approval from the Institutional Review Board of Department of Only students who voluntarily provided informed consent were enrolled. Twenty-eight undergraduate students of K University who had a FHP were enrolled in this Therefore, this study aimed to compare the efficacy of these three interventions on adults Provide mechanical effects by inhibiting the FHP 12 ).Īlthough changes of the FHP because of McKenzie exercises, MFR, and Kinesio taping haveīeen extensively studied in the literature, hardly any studies compared the efficacies of Tissue fluid, and lymphatic circulation 11 ).With elasticity and increased tension, Kinesio taping may also Tape normalizes reduced muscle strength, spasms, and tension while facilitating blood, Properties of muscles to improve symptoms and control pain, as an application of the Kinesio Kinesio taping is a type of natural therapy that involves the use of a non-medicatedĪdhesive tape on human muscles for pain control purposes. MFR is generally the physical therapy of choice to stimulate blood circulation for patients

Lesions, and its series of therapeutic effects are maximized by relaxing muscles at the Myofascial release (MFR) is widely used to control pain associated with musculoskeletal Their 20s, Kim 8 ) reported that McKenzieĮxercises significantly ameliorated the cervical posture of people with FHP. On extension, including ROM exercise, manipulation, and patient education 7 ). The McKenzie exercise encourages self-care treatment through repeated exercises and focuses Reported that FHP increases retroversion of the thoracic spine while reducing range of The neck muscles compared to that of normal people 5 ). 4 ) showed that individuals with persistent FHP had elevated fatigue of Variety of problems 1, 2 ), one of which is forward head posture (FHP), recognized as anĮxcessive extension between the atlanto-occipital joint and superior cervical spine andĮlevated flexion between the inferior cervical spine and superior chest 3 ). These three types of exercise may be recommended as effective exercises to improve postureĮxcessive use of smartphones and display devices in modern societies have generated a Increases were not statistically significant. All three groups showed an increase in CRA after intervention however, these CVA only significantly differed after intervention in The A-T length significantly differed after Length), craniovertebral angle (CVA), Cranial rotation angle (CRA), and neck disability Were provided three times per week for four weeks. Underwent McKenzie exercise, MFR, and Kinesio taping. Group B underwent McKenzie exercise and Kinesio taping. Group A underwent McKenzieĮxercise and MFR. participants were randomlyĪssigned to one of three groups: Group A, Group B and Group C. Methods] Twenty-eight individuals with an FHP were enrolled.
