Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective exercise to improve neck alignment and muscle function inuniversity students with forward head posture among neck stabilization exercises (SE), reverse plank exercises (RPE), and neckstabilization exercises combined with reverse plank exercises (SE＋RPE). Design: A pre-post intervention studyMethods: In this study, 48 university students with a craniovertebral angle of 49 degrees or less were recruited. The selectedsubjects were randomly assigned to the SE group, the RPE group, and the SE＋RPE exercise. The SE＋RPE group performed fiverepetitions of SE and RPE exercises, each with a 30 s hold and 30 s rest. The SE group performed 10 repetitions of SE and the RPEgroup performed 10 repetitions of RPE, each with a 30 s hold and 30 s rest. To compare before and after the intervention, neckalignment and muscle function were examined. Neck alignment was examined for the craniovertebral angle and range of motion ofthe neck, and muscle function was examined for the viscoelastic properties of suboccipital and sternocleidomastoid muscles andproprioceptive sensations of neck. Results: There were no significant differences among the three groups (p＞0.05), but the SE＋RPE group showed significantimprovement in neck alignment and muscle function before and after the intervention (p＜0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study recommend the selective application of SE＋RPE, SE, and RPE depending on the cause ofthe subject with forward head posture.
