Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 292561 0
craniovertebral angle and gaze angle will be optained from all subjects from supine,sitting and standing positions,right side and left side,erect and resting head posture. we will use photographic method to assess angles by using 14 mega pixels camera.we will take 3 photos from right side when head relaxed then we will take 3 other photos from right side when the head will be in erect position.we will make all previous procedure from sitting ,supine and standing.
Timepoint [1] 292561 0
after preparation of subjects we take the photos immediately.
Secondary outcome [1] 309225 0
normative range for forward head posture will be measured by substracting resting forward head posture measurements from erecting forward head posture measurements.
