Overview

Randomized controlled trial compares impacts of pilates and cervical stabilization exercises on neck function and balance.

Key Points

  • Both pilates and cervical stabilization exercises improved neck alignment and function in individuals with forward head posture.
  • Participants showed significant changes in craniovertebral angle and neck disability index, indicating effective interventions.
  • No significant differences were found between the two exercise methods in terms of their effects on stability.
  • Both exercises can be recommended for enhancing neck function and balance among individuals with forward head posture.
