Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between craniovertebral angle, rounded shoulder, pectoralis minor tightness and chest expansion among college students. Fifty College students with CV angle <49.9º and age group of 18-30 years were included in the study. Participants were selected with convenient sampling method. Measurements were taken to find out the correlation: a) Craniovertebral angle was measured by using electronic head posture instrument. b) Chest expansion was measured by using measuring tape. c) Rounded shoulder posture was measurement by using plumb line. d) Pectoralis minor tightness by using table top test. Our results showed that there was no significant correlation between craniovertebral angle, rounded shoulder, and chest expansion and pectoralis minor tightness in college students. Study findings revealed that greater the measured cranio-vertebral angle, the more ideal will be the alignment of the head and neck; whereas the smaller the cranio-vertebral angle, the more serious will be the degree of forward head posture. Thus, concluded that there was no significant correlation between craniovertebral angle, rounded shoulder, and chest expansion and pectoralis minor tightness in college students.
