Duration of work, position of sitting, type and use of input devices are also associated with neck pain at work. Poor neck posture, where neck flexion is exaggerated (slumped forward) is noted and affecting their activity of daily living. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of slumped/slouched sitting posture on cervical curvature and functional level among office workers. Study Design: One shot survey study of 30 subjects were chosen to participate in this study.Subjects:30 normal office workers participated in this study from both genders. Their ages ranged from 30 to 35 years with a mean (32.5 ± 1.63 years) and working period was 7-10 years. Method: Absolute rotation angle (ARA) was measured on lateral cervical radiographs to determine angle of cervical curvature between C2-C7. Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to determine level of functional disabilities of the neck
