Overview

Evaluates the relationship between forward head posture and grip strength in young adults, suggesting no significant effects.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of forward head posture on thoracic kyphosis and grip strength in healthy young adults.
  • Ninety-three healthy adults aged 18-25 participated in the study.
  • Participants were divided into two groups based on craniovertebral angle: FHP group and control group.
  • Craniovertebral angle was measured using photogrammetry.
  • Thoracic kyphosis angle assessed with the Goniometer Pro app.
  • Hand and pinch grip strength were measured using a Jamar dynamometer and Baseline pinch gauge.
  • No significant differences in thoracic kyphosis angle and grip strengths between FHP and control groups (P>0.05).
  • Craniovertebral angle (CVA) showed no significant correlation with grip strength in either group (P>0.05).
  • A significant correlation was found between thoracic kyphosis angle and non-dominant hand grip strength (r=-0.324, P=0.047) in the FHP group.
  • Dominant pinch grip strength (r=-0.350, P=0.031) and non-dominant pinch grip strength (r=-0.394, P=0.014) also correlated with thoracic kyphosis.
