可以使用各种方法和仪器进行前向头部姿势测量。选择适当的方法需要考虑有效性和可靠性的因素。本系统综述报告了用于测量前向头部姿势的非射线照相方法的可靠性和有效性。该综述在对电子数据库进行系统搜索后确定了相关研究。由两名独立的审查员使用关键的评估工具对这些研究进行了质量评估。提取和评估研究数据,并使用证据水平方法定性合成结果。21项研究符合资格标准,并被纳入审查。对五项研究的信度和效度进行了调查,而仅对17项研究进行了可靠性调查。总的来说,在检索到的研究中评估了11种向前头部姿势测量方法。方法的有效性从低到非常高。方法的可靠性从中等到极好。可靠性的最强证据支持使用经典的摄影测量法。对于有效性,证据不足。需要进一步的研究来加强对其余方法的信度和效度的证据水平。建议在未来的研究中解决这一点。
Forward head posture measurement can be conducted using various methods and instruments. The selection of the appropriate method requires the factors of validity and reliability to be considered. This systematic
review reports on the reliability and validity of the non-radiographic methods examined for measuring forward head posture. The
review identified relevant studies following a systematic search of electronic databases. The studies were assessed for quality by two independent reviewers using a critical appraisal tool. The studies\' data were extracted and assessed, and the results were synthesized qualitatively using a level of evidence approach. Twenty-one studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the
review. Both reliability and validity were investigated for five studies, whereas reliability only was investigated for 17 studies. In total, 11 methods of forward head posture measurement were evaluated in the retrieved studies. The validity of the methods ranged from low to very high. The reliability of the methods ranged from moderate to excellent. The strongest levels of evidence for reliability support the use of classic photogrammetry. For validity, the evidence is not conclusive. Further studies are required to strengthen the level of evidence on the reliability and validity of the remaining methods. It is recommended that this point be addressed in future research.
