- Abstract
Background: This study was designed to find the Correlation between the Simple Reaction Time and Cervical Proprioception in asymptomatic young adults with Forward Head Posture (FHP). Purpose: To find the correlation between the Simple Reaction Time and Cervical Proprioception in asymptomatic young adults with Forward Head Posture (FHP). Materials and Methods: Materials required for this study were Body markers, Tripod stand, Laptop, ON Protractor mobile application, Headband with laser beam device, Target with concentric circles, Deary-Liewald reaction time software. It was a cross-sectional observational study design. The sampling method used was Purposive sampling. One Sixty subjects with Forward head posture (CVA= <49º) were included in this study. The written informed consent was taken. Informed consent document was signed, retained by the principal investigator and a copy was given to the participant. Deary-Liewald Time task and Cervicocephalic Relocation test was used to study the Simple Reaction Time and Cervical Proprioception respectively. All the data obtained was statistically analysed using proper tests. Results: The results showed no significant (p value > 0.05) correlation of SRT with Cervical Rotation Proprioception, as the participants in our study were asymptomatic young adults with mean of 22.24±1.783years, had mild FHP and their scores on both the Simple Reaction Time and Cervical Proprioception tests were slightly above the normal range. Conclusion: Our study concluded that there is no significant correlation of Cervical Proprioception with Simple Reaction Time in Asymptomatic Young Adults with Forward Head Posture.
