Postura de la cabeza adelantada , propiocepción cervical, resistencia muscular, función cardiopulmonar, rendimiento en doble tarea

Resumen

Antecedentes: La postura de cabeza adelantada (CPA) se ha vuelto cada vez más común entre los estudiantes universitarios, en gran parte debido al uso prolongado de dispositivos digitales y a los largos períodos de estudio sedentario. Esta desviación postural puede influir en la propiocepción cervical, la resistencia muscular cervical profunda y las respuestas cardiopulmonares. Sin embargo, pocas investigaciones han examinado estas variables en conjunto durante situaciones de doble tarea funcionalmente exigentes.

Objetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar la relación entre la gravedad de la CPA y (1) el error en la posición de la articulación cervical, (2) la resistencia de los músculos flexores y extensores cervicales profundos, y (3) la frecuencia cardíaca y respiratoria durante una tarea cognitivo-motora.

Métodos: Ochenta estudiantes de entre 18 y 26 años se dividieron en grupos de CPA y postura normal según el ángulo cráneovertebral (ACV). Se evaluaron la percepción de la posición articular, la resistencia muscular y las respuestas cardiopulmonares durante una doble tarea de pasos y aritmética.

Resultados: Los estudiantes con FHP mostraron mayor error de posición articular, menor resistencia muscular cervical y mayor tensión cardiopulmonar durante la doble tarea, en comparación con aquellos con una postura normal. El ACV mostró correlaciones significativas con la precisión propioceptiva y tanto el error de posición articular como la resistencia de los flexores predijeron significativamente la frecuencia cardíaca media durante la condición de doble tarea.

Conclusión: Estos resultados resaltan las implicaciones funcionales de la FHP y subrayan la importancia de la detección temprana y la rehabilitación dirigida a los estudiantes que presentan esta desviación postural.
