Résumé
Poor posture and sedentary lifestyle cause Forward Head Posture (FHP). To correct this, a Posture Correction Band (PCB) is commonly used. However, the efficacy of PCB vs. McKenzie's Exercises on pulmonary function and chest expansion in asymptomatic individuals with FHP was not known. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of PCB vs. McKenzie's Exercises on the Pulmonary function and chest expansion in asymptomatic population with FHP. A Randomized control trial was conducted on forty-two subjects with FHP. Subjects were divided in two groups. G1 group was educated as per McKenzie's exercises to perform once daily for a month. The Pulmonary function test and chest expansion of this group was performed before and after the McKenzie exercises. G2 group wore PCB for 2 h daily for a month and their PFT and chest expansion was recorded before and after the trial. FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, PEFR and Chest expansion were measured. The P-value of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio and PEFR between the groups (treatment group) was significant as 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 and 0.02 respectively. The chest expansion was non-significant between the groups (treatment group) with P-value as 0.553, 0.493 and 0.699 at axillary, 4th intercostal and xiphisternum level respectively. The P-value of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio and PEFR between the groups (control group) was non-significant as 0.682, 0.149, 0.424 and 0.414 respectively. The chest expansion was also non-significant between the groups (control group) with P-value as 0.853, 0.651 and 0.763 at axillary, 4th intercostal and xiphisternum level. The study concluded that there were significant effects of both Posture Correction Band and Mc'Kenzie exercises on pulmonary function with greater difference seen with PCB and non-significant effects on chest expansion in terms of P-values in treatment group.

METHODOLOGY
METHODS
A Randomized control trial was conducted on forty-two subjects with FHP. Subjects were divided in two groups. G1 group was educated as per McKenzie's exercises to perform once daily for a month. The Pulmonary function test and chest expansion of this group was performed before and after the McKenzie exercises.

The P-value of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio and PEFR between the groups (treatment group) was significant as 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 and 0.02 respectively. The chest expansion was non-significant between the groups (treatment group) with P-value as 0.553, 0.493 and 0.699 at axillary, 4th intercostal and xiphisternum level respectively. The P-value of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio and PEFR between the groups (control group) was non-significant as 0.682, 0.149, 0.424 and 0.414 respectively. The chest expansion was also non-significant between the groups (control group) with P-value as 0.853, 0.651 and 0.763 at axillary, 4th intercostal and xiphisternum level.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The study concluded that there were significant effects of both Posture Correction Band and Mc'Kenzie exercises on pulmonary function with greater difference seen with PCB and non-significant effects on chest expansion in terms of P-values in treatment group.
