[Purpose] To determine the effects of forward head posture on static and dynamic balance control. [Subjects and Methods] This study included 30 participants who were included into a forward head posture group (n = 14) and a control group (n = 16) according to their craniovertebral angles. Static balance control was assessed according to center of gravity sway velocity and total sway distance using an automatic balance calibration system. Dynamic balance control was assessed using the diagnosis mode of a body-tilt training and measurement system. [Results] Sway velocities on a hard surface with eyes open and closed and those on an unstable sponge surface with eyes closed were significantly higher in the forward head posture group than in the control group. Furthermore, on both the hard and sponge surfaces in the eyes open and closed conditions, total sway distances were significantly higher in the forward head posture group than in the control group. Results of dynamic balance control were not significantly different between groups. [Conclusion] Forward head posture has a greater effect on static balance control than on dynamic balance control.
[目的] 确定头部前倾姿势对静态和动态平衡控制的影响。[对象与方法] 本研究纳入30名参与者,根据其颅椎角分为头部前倾姿势组(n = 14)和对照组(n = 16)。使用自动平衡校准系统,根据重心摆动速度和总摆动距离评估静态平衡控制。使用身体倾斜训练和测量系统的诊断模式评估动态平衡控制。[结果] 头部前倾姿势组在睁眼和闭眼时在硬表面上的摆动速度以及闭眼时在不稳定海绵表面上的摆动速度均显著高于对照组。此外,在睁眼和闭眼条件下,无论是硬表面还是海绵表面,头部前倾姿势组的总摆动距离均显著高于对照组。两组之间动态平衡控制结果无显著差异。[结论] 头部前倾姿势对静态平衡控制的影响大于对动态平衡控制的影响。
