Aim: The purpose of the study was to investigate the presence of forward head posture (FHP) on the selected subjects and analyze its significance among subjects. Methods: 88 male research scholars were recruited as subjects for the analysis from Pondicherry University. Their age ranged from 21 to 35 years. A standard 18 mega pixel digital SLR camera with a product code of 550D was used to capture the images. The image was analyzed with Kinovea software and manual method was used to measure and analyze the degree of deviation in FHP among/between the subjects. The percentage scale was used to analyze the number of researcher affecting the FHP. Results, discussion and conclusion: Results concluded that those are work more hours in anterior forward head posture movement they are prone to Forward Head Posture deformities. But the severity in the postural deformity could be attributed to the lack of discipline in handling simple routine jobs like handling a cell phone, handling a laptop / PC in more hours, bending down to pick up or drop weights, sleeping position, driving vehicles etc. Though it could be attributed towards the lack of discipline in handling daily routines, the chief factor that contributes to their postural deformity is the lack of awareness, lack of interest to analyze their own fitness level. It is this factor that develops into a severe discomfort or injury in future.
