Abstract
Abstract
Background: forward head is one of the most widespread postural abnormalities in adolescents. This abnormality causes neck pain in students in addition to disturbing the head and neck position.
Aims: The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of these two approaches on correcting forward head deformity and neck pain in male students of Ilam city.
Methods: This research was semi-experimental and the statistical population of this research was students. Among the statistical population, 30 students with average age (13.84±9.9 years), weight (54.66±66.39 kg), height (165.58±5.9 cm) non-randomly and purposefully based on research criteria were chosen. And they were randomly divided into two groups, exercises with Sohrmann's approach (n=15) and Janda's approach (n=15). After eight weeks of training (each week including three sessions of 1 hour), forward head angle was evaluated by photography and neck pain was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Paired t statistical method was used for pre-test-post-test intra-group analysis, and covariance test was used for inter-group analysis at a significance level of P˂0.05. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 26 software.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in the amount of forward head angle (P˂0.05) and the amount of pain (P˂0.05) in both exercise groups before and after the intervention. Also, the results showed that there was no significant difference between the two training groups of Janda and Sohrmann in terms of the effect on forward head position and pain.
Conclusion: Both training protocols have had a significant effect in reducing the forward head angle and the pain level of people. However, there was no significant difference between the two training groups of Janda and Sohrmann in terms of the effect on the forward head position and the amount of pain. Therefore, both approaches can be effective in reducing the forward head position and the amount of pain.
