this study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-recommended exercise interventions versus standard corrective exercises in management of non-specific neck pain with forward head and rounded shoulder posture. with the goal of improving neck pain, functional disability, forward head, and rounded shoulder postures.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy of APECS-AI app suggested exercises and standard corrective exercises in managing non-specific neck pain with forward head and rounded shoulders posture. Forty-six subjects of both genders between (18 and 35 years old) have non-specific neck pain with forward head and rounded shoulder posture will be enrolled in this study. The subjects will be randomized into two equal groups (n = 23 each): An intervention group (Group A), will receive AI-generated personalized exercise regimens from the APECS-AI app, and a control group (Group B), will perform standard corrective exercises

The craniovertebral angle
forward head posture. will be measured by Kinovea software and the APECS AI app. More than 50 degrees is considered normal.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Shoulder angle
rounded shoulder posture will be measured by Kinovea software and the APECS AI app. more than 52 is considered normal
Time frame: 6 weeks
functional disability
is measured by neck disability index (NDI). A higher score reflects a greater level of neck disorder-related disability
Time frame: 6 weeks
pain level
It is measured by visual analogue scale (VAS). 10-cm line that represents a pain spectrum between "no pain" and "worst pain," as the word descriptions "no pain" on the left and "worst imaginable pain" on the right serve as anchors for the 100-mm-long horizontal line
Time frame: 6 weeks
