Does Cervical Posture Really Affect Pain and Postural Control Across the Kinetic Chain? A Cross - Sectional Study

GTGözde TekeIstinye University DCDılek CokarIstinye University MAMirsad AlkanIstinye University

Key Points

To determine the impact of cervicothoracic posture on pain and postural control across the kinetic chain.
Cross-sectional study with 46 adults aged 18–55 years.
Participants categorized based on craniovertebral angle (CVA) measurements.
Assessment of upper and lower extremity loading patterns conducted.
Lower CVA values in individuals with forward head posture (51.33±2.4°) compared to neutral posture (61.78±3.7°; p<0.05).
Forward head posture was associated with increased pain levels and altered postural control.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine whether cervicothoracic posture influences pain and postural control by exploring its relationship with upper extremity dynamic postural control and lower extremity loading patterns. Methods: Forty-six adults aged 18–55 years participated. Individuals with a craniovertebral angle (CVA) 0.05). The FHP group showed significantly lower CVA values (51.33±2.4° vs. 61.78±3.7°; p
