Overview

Analysis of Abnormal Muscle Activities on Forward Neck Posture Syndrome Patients and Effect of Neck Extension Exercise Using 8 Channel Surface Electromyography

In this study, the investigators investigate the muscle contraction according to posture change in patients with forward neck posture syndrome which was not revealed by 8 channel surface electromyography and provide accurate evaluation of forward neck posture syndrome in comparison with normal group and to be used as basic research data for the development of 8 channel electric stimulation therapy device.
