Article Synopsis
- Despite efforts to address forward head posture (FHP), effective screening and diagnostic methods are still lacking; this study introduces a new noninvasive approach using body angle measurements alongside radiological assessments.
- A total of 145 adolescents were screened, measuring the forward neck tilt angle (FNTA) with a device called the POM-Checker and analyzing various sagittal alignment parameters through standing lateral radiographs.
- The preliminary diagnostic model developed showed a high agreement rate (95.35%) and was 100% effective in identifying participants needing further radiographic evaluation, indicating that FNTA is a crucial factor in diagnosing FHP.
