| Craniovertebral Angle | Universal Goniometer is utilized to measure the craniovertebral angle. An angle between 50 to 53 degrees is considered normal | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Reedco Posture Score | Reedco Posture score is used to assess posture. The RPS includes personal information about the person being evaluated, along with a scoring system for various body parts. Each body part is assigned a score between 0 and 10, with 10 indicating good posture 5 indicating fair posture, and 0 indicating poor posture. The total score is calculated by adding up the scores for all the body parts. A perfect score would be 100, indicating excellent posture. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Neck Disability Index | Neck Disability Index is 10-item questionnaire regarding functional activities of the neck. Each item has 6 categories with 0 being the least score and 5 being the highest score. The sum of the selected categories in each item are calculated and scored out of a total possible score of 50. The NDI score is assessed as a percentage if the patient skips an item. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
