Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows significant improvement in craniovertebral angle for subjects with forward head posture, suggesting motor learning principles enhance rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • Significant improvements in craniovertebral angle and deep neck flexor endurance were observed after the intervention.
  • The intervention group showed a notable increase in motor skill transfer to dynamic tasks, supporting motor learning principles.
  • Participants maintained improvements in posture and strength during a two-week detraining period, indicating effective learning retention.
  • Employing motor learning strategies in physiotherapy may enhance treatment effectiveness for postural issues.
