Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.)-Cairo University, 2024. Summary: Background: Anterior translation of cervical spine, recognized as Forward Head Posture (FHP), is a pathology that happens when the head moves forward from the vertical line of gravity. FHP can cause significant problems, such as fascial stretching at the lower cervical level, shortening of the upper cervical segment, hamstring tightness, and back fascial limitation at the hamstring and calf muscle levels. It is crucial to address this correlation to avoid further complications. Purpose of the study: to determine of the correlation between forward head posture, hamstring, calf muscles tightness and neck disability index (NDI) in nonspecific neck pain subjects. Materials and Methods: The study involved 85 university students of both genders, with a mean age of males were (21.96 ± 2.25) years and of females were (22.05 ± 2) years respectively, with the mean values of BMI of males were (22.32 ± 1.68) females were (22 ± 1.7) kg/m2 respectively. The sample size included only those with a craniovertebral angle (CVA) measurement of less than 490, which was determined using the photogrammetry method. A digital goniometer was used to assess hamstring muscles by using the passive straight leg raising test (PSLR). A digital goniometer was used to assess calf muscles by ankle dorsiflexion with the knee extended (ADFKE) test for gastrocnemius muscle, in addition to ankle dorsiflexion with the knee flexed (ADFKF) test for soleus muscles. Results: There is a weak significant direct correlation (r=0.300, p=0.034) between CVA and right hamstring tightness as measured by PSLR in males with a normal BMI. There was a non-significant correlation between CVA and calf muscles tightness in both genders’ males and females. Conclusion: Forward head posture (FHP) weakly correlates with hamstring tightness of right side in males with normal BMI. Therefore, the current study suggests that hamstring muscles stretching program may improve FHP. The degree of forward head posture is not correlated with calf muscles tightness.Summary: شملت الدراسة على 85 طالباً جامعياً من الجنسين، متوسط أعمارهم (2.25 ±21.96) سنة للرجال و (2±22.05) سنة للنساء، ومتوسط مؤشر كتلة الجسم (1.68±22.32) كجم/م2 للرجال و (1.7±22) كجم/م2 للنساء الذين لديهم قياس زاوية قحفية فقرية أقل من 49 درجة، والذي تم تحديده باستخدام طريقة القياس التصويري. تم استخدام مقياس الزوايا الرقمي لتقييم قصر العضلات و المدى الحركي باستخدام اختبار رفع الساق المستقيمة السلبي. تم استخدام مقياس الزوايا الرقمي لتقييم عضلات الساق عن طريق عطف ظهري الكاحل مع اختبار تمديد الركبة، بالإضافة إلى عطف ظهري الكاحل مع ثني الركبة.

Background: Anterior translation of cervical spine, recognized as Forward
Head Posture (FHP), is a pathology that happens when the head moves forward
from the vertical line of gravity. FHP can cause significant problems, such as
fascial stretching at the lower cervical level, shortening of the upper cervical
segment, hamstring tightness, and back fascial limitation at the hamstring and
calf muscle levels. It is crucial to address this correlation to avoid further
complications. Purpose of the study: to determine of the correlation between
forward head posture, hamstring, calf muscles tightness and neck disability
index (NDI) in nonspecific neck pain subjects. Materials and Methods: The
study involved 85 university students of both genders, with a mean age of males
were (21.96 ± 2.25) years and of females were (22.05 ± 2) years respectively,
with the mean values of BMI of males were (22.32 ± 1.68) females were (22 ±
1.7) kg/m2 respectively. The sample size included only those with a
craniovertebral angle (CVA) measurement of less than 490, which was
determined using the photogrammetry method. A digital goniometer was used
to assess hamstring muscles by using the passive straight leg raising test
(PSLR). A digital goniometer was used to assess calf muscles by ankle
dorsiflexion with the knee extended (ADFKE) test for gastrocnemius muscle,
in addition to ankle dorsiflexion with the knee flexed (ADFKF) test for soleus
muscles. Results: There is a weak significant direct correlation (r=0.300,
p=0.034) between CVA and right hamstring tightness as measured by PSLR in
males with a normal BMI. There was a non-significant correlation between
CVA and calf muscles tightness in both genders’ males and females.
Conclusion: Forward head posture (FHP) weakly correlates with hamstring
tightness of right side in males with normal BMI. Therefore, the current study
suggests that hamstring muscles stretching program may improve FHP. The
degree of forward head posture is not correlated with calf muscles tightness.
