Abstract
Poor posture of the neck and head has long been recognized as a factor contributing to the onset and perpetuation of pain in the head and neck region. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the changes in forward head posture and pressure pain threshold in tension type headache group and control ´group. Forward head posture were measured to craniovertebral angle and cranial rotatazion angle. Craniovertebral angle was smaller in tension type headache group(p<0.05), and cranial rotation angle was larger in tension type headache group(p<0.05). Pressure pain threshold was similar between tension type headache group and control group with the exception of right suboccipitalis and left temporalis(p<0.05).
