Postural Rehabilitation for Visual Dysfunction in Forward Head Posture
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of motor control training, sensor-based biofeedback training using a wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU), and standardized postural correction exercises on mild visual dysfunction in university students with forward head posture (FHP). The trial seeks to establish whether targeted postural rehabilitation can produce measurable improvements in validated visual and sensorimotor outcomes.

Conditions
Interventions
motor control training
the intervention will be a progressive training starting from the stationary, no inertia and no object manipulation to in motion with inertia and with object manipulation taking help of sitting standing and stepping stairs like activities keep the head in normal position with the help of a laser gun. the intervention duration is 45 minutes/day, with three sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Sensor development training group
the sensor will be being placed at C7 measuring current craniovertebral angle with the threshold being set at 50 degrees. the real time feedback will be shown on the mobile app. and the data will be recorded for whole intervention time. the intervention duration is 45 minutes/day, with three sessions per week for 4 weeks.
conventional posture training
the strengthening of deep neck flexors and retractors and stretching of pectoralis major and cervical extensors will be done using intervention duration is 45 minutes/day, with three sessions per week for 4 weeks.
