PURPOSE : In this study, when cranio-cervical flexion exercise with shoulder calibration aid were applied to the forward head posture subjects, the changes in the craniovertebral angle, sternocleidomastoid, and deep cervical flexor muscles were analyzed. METHOD : For 4 weeks, a total of 36 experimenters were divided into 3 groups, with group A applying shoulder calibration aid, group B applying cranio-cervical flexion exercise, and group C applying shoulder calibration aid and cranio-cervical flexion exercise together. The craniovertebral angle was photographed with a camera at the angle of C7 and tragus, and the muscle thickness was measured with an ultrasonic device. RESULT : Depending on the period, there was a significant difference between the craniovertebral angle and the deep neck flexion muscle thickness before and after intervention, but there was no significant difference between the groups, and there was no significant difference between the sternocleidomastoid before and after intervention. CONCLUSION : The cranio-cervical flexion exercise and shoulder calibration aid are applied together to increase the craniovertebral angle and the muscle thickness of the deep neck flexor over time during the intervention of the forward head posture subject.
