Effects of Reactive Neuromuscular Training on Forward Head Posture among Higher Learning Institution (Academician & Non-Academician) Population

Abstract

Introduction: Reactive Neuromuscular training (RNT) activities are designed to restore functional stability on the joints and to enhance motor control skills, which can be defined as awareness of posture, movement, and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of objects in relation to the body. Posture has been very important in preserving human balance. Awkward posture in various activities contributes to the increased risks of developing musculoskeletal disorders. Maintaining an upright sitting and standing posture is thus often suggested, especially nowadays when people spend longer periods in the sitting posture for occupational or leisure activities. Purpose of this study is to determine the effects of RNT in postural deformities among academicians and non-academician in higher learning institution.
