Abstract Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a condition marked by the anterior placement of the head, often leading to musculoskeletal issues. Proprioception training, which improves body awareness and movement, has been proposed as a potential intervention for FHP.
Methods: A detailed search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Sci-Hub, focusing on studies published since 2013. The selection process involved reviewing titles, abstracts, and full texts. A total of six relevant studies were analysed, including randomized controlled trials, experimental studies, comparative studies, systematic reviews, and case-control studies.
Result: A total of 6 articles were selected. The review of six studies underscores the potential of body awareness exercises in alleviating discomfort and enhancing balance for individuals with Forward Head Posture (FHP). Customizing these training methods to individual needs is crucial for maximizing their effectiveness.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the effectiveness of proprioception training in addressing Forward Head Posture (FHP) becomes evident through these studies. The exercises, such as head relocation and eye-head coordination, offer a promising approach to alleviating discomfort, improving neck mobility, and enhancing overall body awareness. Embracing proprioception training emerges as a valuable strategy for managing FHP and enhancing overall posture and well-being.
