Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Basic Science Summary: Background: Forward head and rounded shoulder postures are considered widely spread postural disorders related to musculoskeletal abnormalities. They negatively affect neural function and proximal stability around the scapula which may affect distal functional mobility of the arm. Grip strength is used to be a marker of upper limb function. Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of forward head and rounded shoulder posture on hand grip strength in asymptomatic young adults. Materials and methods: One hundred and two right-handed participants of both genders with their age ranged from 19 to 24 (under graduate students) assigned into 3 groups according to deformity type, Group A: 30 participants with normal posture (control group), Group B: 34 participants with rounded shoulder posture and Group C: 38 participants with forward head rounded shoulder posture. Participants had forward head if craniovertebral angle {u2264} 50 and had rounded shoulders if the distance between 2on the table3 and the posterior aspect of acromion process{u2265}2.5 cm. Craniovertebral angle was measured by photogrammetric method, rounded shoulder was measured by the supine method while hand grip strength of both hands was measured by Jamer hand dynamometer
