Forward head posture adalah salah satu kelainan postur dimana kepala mengarah ke depan pada bidang sagital menjauhi dari garis vertikal bahu, ini dapat ditandai dengan tidak segarisnya kepala dengan bahu. Forward head posture sangat memengaruhi kehidupan manusia dimana dalam jangka panjang dapat menyebabkan nyeri leher kronis, gangguan ketegangan otot dan berpengaruh juga pada keseimbangan. Oleh karena itu identifikasi lebih lanjut terkait faktor dari forward head posture diperlukan untuk mengurangi angka kejadian di masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor risiko dari terjadinya forward head posture. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah literature review dengan menggunakan data dari jurnal-jurnal ilmiah yang didapat dari berbagai database jurnal ilmiah yang ada di internet.  Jurnal ilmiah yang ditinjau adalah jurnal yang membahas topik tentang forward head posture, seperti definisi, faktor-faktor risiko dan prevalensi pada populasi. Berdasarkan hasil telaah jurnal didapatkan hasil bahwa forward head posture dapat terjadi apabila seseorang melakukan pekerjaan dengan postur atau sikap yang salah yaitu menekuk leher dan mencondongkan leher ke depan saat bekerja dan berulang kali dalam jangka waktu yang lama, dengan rerata durasi pekerjaan lebih dari 1 – 2,8 jam per hari. Jenis pekerjaan yang banyak menimbulkan forward head posture adalah penggunaan gawai, bekerja di depan komputer, membawa tas yang berat, dan pengoperasian mesin jahit.

This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated whether the use of a lumbar roll reduced forward head posture (FHP) while sitting among individuals with or without musculoskeletal disorders. EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from their inception to August 2020. The quality of evidence for variables used in the meta-analysis was determined using the GRADE system. Five studies satisfied the criteria for data analysis. All studies included individuals without any spinal symptoms. Data from five studies on neck angle showed a statistically significant (p = 0.02) overall effect (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.77), indicating a lesser neck flexion angle while sitting with a lumbar roll than without it. Data from two studies on head angle showed a statistically significant (p = 0.04) overall effect (SMD = 0.47), indicating a lesser head extension angle while sitting with a lumbar roll than without it. In each meta-analysis, the quality of evidence was very low in the GRADE system. The use of a lumbar roll while sitting reduced FHP among individuals without spinal symptoms.

BACKGROUND: Forward head posture (FHP) is the most common malposition in the head and neck area. With the growing use of digital devices, the prevalence of FHP may be expected to increase dramatically. Thus far, FHP has been evaluated only in the sagittal plane. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to measure angles and indices from anatomical landmarks in the frontal plane and determine the possible correlations between these variables and craniovertebral angle (CVA) as an index of FHP in the sagittal plane. METHODS: Fifty eight healthy individuals (29 men, 29 women) between 18 and 40 years old participated in this cross-sectional study. Participants were evaluated with an 8-camera motion analysis system. After markers were placed on predetermined landmarks, the participants were asked to maintain their head and neck in the neutral position for 5 seconds. Then participants induced FHP by flexing and lowering their head. The correlation between CVA and a set of angles and indices was calculated at the moment of FHP induction. RESULTS: A moderate correlation was observed between 3-D CVA and the angle formed between the sternum and both tragi for the whole sample and separately in both sexes. A moderate negative correlation was observed between 3-D CVA and height, weight, and BMI in women. A moderate negative correlation was observed between 3-D CVA and height, weight, BMI, and hours on digital devices in men. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in CVA in the sagittal plane can be predicted from changes in the angle formed between the midpoint of the sternum and the left and right tragi in the frontal plane.
