초록

Background Forward head posture (FHP) is a representative disease of modern society, and it is closely related to the suboccipital muscle. However, there is little study that suboccipital myofascial release affect on the cranio-vertebral angle (CVA) and upper cervical flexion angle.
Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the immediate effect of suboccipital myofascial release on the CVA and upper cervical flexion angle in patients with FHP Methods The subjects were 19 patients with FHP. The CVA and upper cervical flexion angle were measured before and after applying a 15-minute myofascial release to the suboccipital muscles. The CVA and upper cervical flexion angle were assessed using the Kinovea program. The difference before and after myofascial release was analyzed using a paired t-test.
Results As a result of applying myofascial release on suboccipital muscles for 15 minutes to patients with a forward heard posture, there was a significant increase in the CVA and the upper cervical flexion angle (p < 0.05).
Conclusions Myofascial release on suboccipital muscles is an effective treatment method for improving FHP and restoring upper cervical movement in patients with FHP.
