        abstract = {Background: The study attempted to find the co-relation of forward head posture and dependent head posture dizziness syndrome in desktop workers in both male and female with age group of 35-45 years. Dependent Head posture Dizziness Syndrome is characterized by symptoms such as dizziness and postural instability, often attributed to abnormal head posture. Forward head posture, a frequent postural distortion, has been hypothesized to contribute to the development of this syndrome. Methodology- Study investigated the co-relation between forward head posture and dependent head posture dizziness syndrome among 61 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were assessed for forward head posture using standardized measures, and symptoms of dependent head posture dizziness syndrome was self-reported.
Statistical analysis, including co-relation coefficients and to ascertain the association between the variables, hypothesis testing was done using a 0.05 p-value threshold. Data was analyzed using MS Excel software. Result- The study involved comparing the means of all variables, where Fisher’s exact test and proportion test were employed for analysis. To determine statistical significance, a criterion of p>0.05 was established. The results indicated that none of the variables exhibited a significant co-relation, as all values exceeded the threshold, signifying a lack of statistical significance. Conclusion- There is no substantial relation between forward head posture and dependent head posture dizziness syndrome.},
