Abstract :

 Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) represent one of the most common and most expensive occupational health problems in both developed and developing countries. College teachers represent an occupational group among which there appears to be a high prevalence of MSD.

Aim: To find out the deviation of the cervical spine posture in assistant professors of engineering field in Delhi.

Methodology: Assessment of the individuals was performed and the individuals who lying in our inclusion criteria were selected from. Anatomical landmarks were located, and marker (bindi) were applied over the canthus of the eye, tragus of the ear, over the seventh cervical spinous process and over the lower margins of both the ear lobes. Photographs were taken and three postural angles namely Cranioverteal Angle, Anterior Head Alignment and Craniohorizontal Angle were measured from the photographs using the UTHSCSA Image Tool Software to evaluate the cervical spine posture.

Results: The mean of CVA is 30.04 ± 6.23. The mean of CHA is 24.66 ± 7.28. The mean of AHA is 3.10 ± 2.08.

Conclusion: There is significant deviation of the cervical spine posture of assistant professors of engineering field in Delhi.
