Abstract

Objective: To investigate the degree of change in the craniovertebral angle (CVA) of the neck extension movement according to Nguyen Van Huong's exercises method on students with a forward-looking head position. Subjects and Method: Randomized controlled trial without a control group. Conducted from December 2022 to May 2023 on 60 healthy students Faculty of Traditional Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City. For eight weeks, three days a week, volunteers were split into two exercise groups at random: 15 minutes and 7 minutes. Locate the C7 spinal first, then the point in front of the ear, the shoulder process, and mark it with a sticker. Position the phone 80 cm across the C7 vertebra away from the volunteer and to the left of their heart on a tripod to snap a picture. The picture is put into AutoCAD three times to determine the average CVA. Results: The 15-minute exercise group's post-exercise CVA angle increased by 9.74 degrees relative to before exercise (p < 0.05), proving statistical significance. The 7-minute exercise group's post-exercise CVA rose 7.79 degrees above its pre-exercise value. The CVA results after exercise in both groups increased significantly compared to before exercise (p < 0.05), which was statistically significant. Conclusion: Following exercise in both the 15-minute and 7-minute groups, doing neck stretching exercises by Nguyen Van Huong's exercises method improved forward head posture and raised the CVA.
