Correlation Between Thoracic Kyphosis Posture and Static Balance

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effects of balanced posture and postural changes have been evaluated in specific populations with different factors that can affect body postures and balance, such as age, musculoskeletal system, and other metabolic diseases. Studies on postural kyphosis and balance involvement are very few in the literature especially in the health population. Of the few studies that have evaluated kyphosis and balance, most are limited by small sample size and the exclusion of men. Many have focused primarily on the geriatric population. The determination that the effect of thoracic kyphosis posture on trunk biomechanical alignment may be related to balance may contribute to new treatment recommendations in this area. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the thoracic kyphosis posture has an effect on static balance.
