Abstract
Objective: Impaired posture control, breathing problems, headaches of neck origin, increased pressure on blood vessels, decreased vertebral blood flow to the brain and brain stem, and decreased breathing capacity are some of the side effects of head forward malformation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effect and durability of 8 weeks of corrective exercises based on the NASM approach and the Sahrman approach on forward head posture and neck pain in mobile phone users in young men of Tabriz city. Methods: The present semi-experimental research is an intervention research; And the research design is pre-test and post-test with control group. 36 people in the age range of 20 to 35 years were selected in a targeted non-random way with a forward head angle above 46 degrees. The craniovertebral angle or CVA was used to measure the forward head angle. To quantify the intensity of pain in people with neck pain, the Visual Analysis Scale was used. Two-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc tests were performed at a significance level of p≥0.05. Results: The results of the research showed that both training programs had a positive effect on forward head posture and neck pain of these people (p=0.001). Also, the results of the research showed that after 3 months of the follow-up period, the effectiveness of the exercises was still significant (p=0.001). Conclusion: The results of the research showed that both training programs had a significant and long-lasting effect on forward head posture and neck pain. Therefore, the use of each of these exercises is recommended to improve forward head posture and neck pain in people with forward head posture abnormalities.
