Authors: Dr. Sakshi Padmawar, Dr. Deepali Patil, Dr. Pratik Phansopkar,
Publish Date/ Year : December 2024 | Format: Paperback | Genre : Medical Science | Other Book Detail

Forward head posture (FHP) is characterized by increased flexion of the lower cervical spine and upper thoracic region and increased extension of the upper cervical spine (1). FHP is commonly defined as the protrusion of the head in the sagittal plane so that the head is placed anterior to the trunk (2). It can occur because of anterior translation of the head, lower cervical flexion, or both, and it is claimed to be associated with an increase in upper cervical extension (3), (4). A knowledge of the bony configuration, ligamentous attachments, joint articulations, vascular supply, muscle function, and lymphatic drainage as well as the kinetic anatomy of the cranio-cervical junction (CCJ) is necessary to understand the etiology of abnormalities in this area and their treatment. The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is the most mobile of the upper cervical spine. It is uniquely adapted for stability and motion (5).
