Comparison of Dry Needling and Kinesio Taping on Range of Motion, Pain Pressure Threshold, Neck Alignment, Disability and Static Balance on Forward Head Posture (FHP)
Comparison of Dry Needling and Kinesio Taping on Photogrammetric Data, Disability and Static
Balance on Forward Head Posture (FHP)
Design
Randomize control trial, with parallel groups, single blind
Settings and conduct
The study is about people with a forward-looking condition. It is performed in the Faculty of Rehabilitation, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. First, individuals complete the consent form and their personal information questionnaire is completed. People are then randomly divided into two groups by tossing a coin. Evaluations are done once before the intervention in the first session, the second time after the intervention in the first session and the third time after the intervention in the third session
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: cranio vertebral angle <50; woman with 20 to 40 years old.
Exclusion criteria: participation in a study similar to the present study; history of neck fracture and
vascular disease; contraindications of dry needles such as: systemic disease, fever, high anxiety; skin allergy to kinesiotype.
Intervention groups
1. Dry needling with stretching exercises; 2. Kinesiotape with stretching exercises

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization will be done in the form of a simple randomization method and the coin tossing method will be used. So that the face of the coin will be used for the kinesiotype group and the back of the coin will be used for the dry needle group. At the beginning of the study, by tossing a coin, it is decided that the person will enter the kinesiotype or dry needle group. In this way, if the coin comes on, the person will enter the kinesiotype group, and if the coin comes back, the person will enter the dry needle group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The present study will be a single blind. In this way, the therapist, who is the evaluator and the data analyzer, will be aware of the study groups, but the participant will be unaware of the treatment groups. This means that the person in the kinesiotype group does not know about the treatment of the person in the dry needle group and does not know in which group he is. Because these two people will not meet each other.

Intervention groups
1
Description
Intervention group: dry needling with stretching exercises. In this way, the reduction dry needle technique will be applied at the motorpoint point of the upper trapezius muscle on both sides. The needle rotates counterclockwise for 15 seconds (one rotation per second) and then stays in place for 20 minutes. Also, pectoralis muscle stretching exercises, neck extensions and sternocleidomastoid are taught to be performed with specific repetitions (2 sets, each set 10 repetitions, each repetition pauses for 30 seconds). Interventions will take place in three sessions on every other day.

Description
Intervention group: kinesio tape with stretching exercise. An inhibitory technique with 15 to 25% tension kinesiotype will be performed for the upper trapezius muscle on both sides. The I-band is cut from the tip and the initial part is glued to the clavicle about two inches below the junction of the upper trapezius, then the shoulder goes to the adduction and the neck to the contra lateral flexion, and the tip is parallel to the muscle fibers with 15 to 25% tension. finally the end of the non-tension type is glued to the occiput. Exercises are like a dry needle group. Interventions will be performed in three sessions on every other day.
