Abstract
Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is considered a widely spread postural disorder related to abnormalities in musculoskeletal balance. Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of forward head posture on shoulder proprioception in young adults. Participants and methods: Thirty subjects of both genders of ages ranging from 18 to 26 were assigned into two equal groups, group A; subjects having forward head posture with craniovertebral angle <50{u25CB} and group B; subjects having normal posture with craniovertebral angle >50{u25CB}; photographic analysis measured the craniovertebral angle while isokinetic biodex system was used for measuring shoulder propioception. Result: The study showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in shoulder proprioception. Conclusion: Forward head posture has no effect on shoulder proprioception
