Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 292561 0
craniovertebral angle and gaze angle will be optained from all subjects from supine,sitting and standing positions,right side and left side,erect and resting head posture. we will use photographic method to assess angles by using 14 mega pixels camera.we will take 3 photos from right side when head relaxed then we will take 3 other photos from right side when the head will be in erect position.we will make all previous procedure from sitting ,supine and standing.
Timepoint [1] 292561 0
after preparation of subjects we take the photos immediately.
Secondary outcome [1] 309225 0
normative range for forward head posture will be measured by substracting resting forward head posture measurements from erecting forward head posture measurements.
Timepoint [1] 309225 0
during photos assessment

Summary
Brief summary
Correction of FHP is an integral part of physical therapy rehabilitation of cervical dysfunction (Jull et al., 2004). However, the lack of normative range for FHP makes it difficult for physiotherapists to decide on when to employ such intervention as well as when to consider treatment goals has been accomplished. Moreover, assessment positions may vary from one clinician to the other. In addition, some patients with neck dysfunction and/or vestibular symptoms may find it difficult to assume the upright posture.
Hypothesis:
FHP, as measured by the cranio-vertebral and gaze angles, will be significantly different between sitting, standing and supine lying positions.
