테이핑 적용 유형에 따른 교정 운동이 전방머리자세를 가진 성인의 근긴장도, 머리자세 및 자세재현능력에 미치는 즉각적인 효과 비교

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a common postural problem caused by prolonged smartphone and computer use, leading to muscle imbalance and cervical dysfunction. Chin-tuck exercise and taping are frequently used to correct FHP and enhance proprioception. However, evidence comparing elastic and non-elastic taping combined with exercise remains limited. This study aimed to examine the immediate effects of these taping methods combined with chin-tuck exercise on muscle tone, craniovertebral angle (CVA), and head repositioning accuracy (HRA) in adults with FHP.
Methods: Fifty-one participants aged 20–50 years with FHP (craniovertebral angle ≤ 50°) were randomly allocated into three groups: elastic taping + chin-tuck exercise (EG I, n = 17), non-elastic taping + chin-tuck exercise (EG II, n = 17), and chin-tuck exercise only (CG, n = 17). Interventions were applied in a single session (10 min). Outcome measures included muscle tone (upper trapezius, Hz), cervical alignment (CVA), and head repositioning accuracy (HRA). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc correction.
Results: A significant group × time interaction was observed for upper trapezius muscle tone: the elastic-taping plus chin-tuck group showed a greater reduction than both the rigid-taping and exercise-only groups. CVA improved significantly from pre- to post-intervention in all groups without between-group differences. HRA also improved across time in all groups, with no significant group × time interaction.
Conclusion: Chin-tuck exercise effectively improved cervical alignment and head repositioning accuracy in individuals with FHP. Elastic taping provided an additional short-term benefit in reducing upper trapezius muscle tone, whereas non-elastic taping did not show significant immediate effects. These findings suggest that elastic taping may serve as a useful adjunct to exercise for managing FHP.
