Abstract
BackgroundThe goal of this study was to look at the correlation between forwarding head posture and back muscle endurance in 288 primary school healthy active children aged 7–10 years old in public schools in Sheblanga, Benha, Qalubyia governorate (170 boys and 118 girls).MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on elementary school children to see whether there was a link between forwarding head posture and back muscle endurance. The photogrammetry technique of craniovertebral angle (CVA) was employed to quantify forward head position, and the Biering Sorensen test was utilized to evaluate isometric back muscle endurance.ResultsThe distribution of head posture in the study group revealed 132 (46%) children with advancing head posture and 156 (54%) children with normal posture. In the study group, the connection between CVA and trunk extensor endurance was moderately significant (r = 0.4, p = 0.0001). The trunk extensor endurance of children with advancing heads was significantly lower than that of children with normal postures (p = 0.0001).ConclusionsThere is a link between forwarding head posture (FHP) and back muscle endurance.
