Radiographic Head and Neck Positional Changes in Response to Oculomotor Muscles Tonic Modification Using Low-powered Prismatic Lenses

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the short-term changes in head and neck positioning in patients with Postural Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) using low-powered prismatic lenses. This study is designed as a matched pair observation to understand how these lenses may affect posture. The investigation focuses on patients who present specific signs of PDS, including asymmetrical stance and head extension and rotation. Participants will undergo low dose biplanar radiography before treatment and again 15 minutes after applying the prismatic lenses. This intervention involves the use of low-powered prismatic lenses intended to modify oculomotor muscle tone. The study is observational with one experimental group where each participant acts as their own control through pre- and post-lens evaluations. During the study, participants will have radiographic assessments to measure changes in pelvic tilt angle, C0 inclination, cervical spinal vertical alignment, cervical lordosis, inclination of C1 and C2 vertebrae, and global spinal vertical alignment. These imaging evaluations occur from enrollment to the second radiographic evaluation on the same day. The total participation involves these radiographic scans and short-term monitoring directly related to lens application.
