The Effects of Thoracic Mobility Exercise on Pain, Range of Motion, Craniovertebral Angle, Proprioception, Respiratory Function, and Neck Disability Index in University Students with Neck Pain and Forward Head Posture
This study aimed to investigate the effects of thoracic mobility exercise on pain, range of motion, craniovertebral angle, proprioception, respiratory function, and neck disability index in university students with neck pain and forward head posture. Thirty participants were randomly assigned to either a thoracic mobility exercise group (n=15) or a craniocervical flexion exercise group (n=15). Both groups performed their respective exercises for 10 minutes per day, 3 sets per session, 7 times per week for 4 weeks, with a 1-minute rest period between sets, while diaphragmatic breathing was encouraged during exercise. Outcome measures, including visual analogue scale, range of motion, pressure pain threshold, craniovertebral angle, proprioception, respiratory function, and neck disability index, were assessed before and after the intervention. After the intervention, the thoracic mobility exercise group showed significant improvements in all outcome measures in the within-group analysis and demonstrated significantly greater improvements in pain, range of motion, craniovertebral angle, proprioception, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and neck disability index compared with the craniocervical flexion exercise group (p<.05). These findings suggest that thoracic mobility exercise may be an effective intervention for improving pain, functional outcomes, and respiratory function in patients with neck pain and forward head posture.
