This study explores the measurement of the craniovertebral angle (CVA) using a SmartTool Angle Finder, aligning indicator lines with pin markers at the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) and tragus. Conducted by Lau, Chiu, and Lam, the research highlights the criterion validity of the Electronic Head Posture Instrument, providing a reliable method for assessing head posture in rehabilitation settings. Published in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, the findings underscore the significance of accurate angular measurements in clinical practice.
