The craniovertebral angle is identified as the intersection of a horizontal line passing through the C7 spinous process and a line joining the midpoint of the tragus of the ear to the skin overlying the C7 spinous process[1].Measurement of cranio vertebral angle, (CVA) is one of the common methods in assessing head posture.
