Correlation of Cranio-vertebral Angle with Scapular Dyskinesia in Goldsmith Workers

Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the forward head posture and scapular dyskinesia in goldsmith workers due to their precision work. To keep the small cut diamond in proper mould and polish the gold requires precision and continuous forward bending of the neck. This posture requires high work demand of the neck musculature which leads to continuous upper back curved and neck in flexion and this position is maintained for long working hours.
