Medical professionals treating patients with cervical spine pathologies frequently encounter forward head postures (FHP). In the clinical setting, FHP measurements are often described subjectively using the phrase, "patient demonstrates forward head posture." There are reliable tools that can objectively measure FHP, but they are not frequently used in the clinical setting because the tools are expensive, unavailable, or overly time-consuming. This posture measuring device (PMD) developed at Florida A&M University was developed to provide a convenient tool to objectively measure FHP. The PMD has demonstrated good to excellent intra-rater and interrater reliability in previously published studies using asymptomatic college-aged subjects. This study measures the intra-rater reliability of measurements obtained by licensed clinical professionals during the treatment of patients diagnosed with cervical spine pathologies.
