IRCT20240307061208N1 IRCT 2024-08-05 Tehran University of Medical Sciences The effects of myofascial release on forward head posture The effects of myofascial release on stiffness of thoracolumbar fascia, cervical range of motion, neck disability index and cranio-vertebral angle in women with forward head posture 2024-05-04 anticipated 40 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/76469 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Factorial, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants will be randomly assigned to either the control group (exercise therapy) or the experimental group (exercise therapy + thoracolumbar fascia release) using block randomization method. A computerized random allocation sequence with 4 block sizes will be done using www.sealedenvelope.com website. Envelopes containing group allocations which will be written and opened by an uninvolved party, Blinding description: The study will be conducted in a double-blind manner, in which the assessor and the participants will be blind to participants' group allocation. Envelopes containing participant group allocations will be written and opened by an uninvolved party.Thus, the assessor will be blind to grouping. Also, the participants will visit the clinic at certain intervals. As a result, they will not have a chance to talk to each other. N/A forward head posture. Intervention group:. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: The data files include demographic data and data collected from participants during assessment sessions When: Access to research data will be available after finishing and publishing the research To whom: medical universities researchers Conditions: research and researcher certifications must be available Where to obtain: Tehran university of medical sciences- rehabilitation faculty- Fatemeh Sadeghi How to obtain: After consulting with faculty professors, access to data will be available.

Also this index is related to shear wave propagation in a homogenous system. Theoratically, shear modulus or tissue elasticity can be calculated by using shear wave speed which gives information about tissue's biomechanic quality. Timepoint: in first session before intervention and in last session(fourth) after finishing intervention. Method of measurement: shear-wave elastography.
