NCT06420869 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 62

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although the negative effect of increased thoracic kyphosis in elderly individuals has been reported in the literature, the effect of the thoracic kyphosis angle on trunk and foot proprioception in young individuals has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the thoracic kyphosis on posture, proprioception and perception of postural appearance in young individuals.

Conditions

  • Kyphosis
  • Proprioception
  • Posture

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Assessment

A postural evaluation will be conducted, including the measurement of the thoracic kyphosis angle and the assessment of sagittal head posture.A proprioception evaluation will be conducted, whereby the cervical region, trunk and ankle joint position sense and trunk and foot sensation will be evaluated for the purpose of assessing the proprioception of the spine.Turkish adaptation of the Kyphosis Specific Spine Appearance Questionnaire (KSAQ) will be employed to assess postural appearance perception. The KSAQ is a reliable and valid patient-reported outcome tool for assessing individual perception of various aspects of kyphotic deformity and appearance in young patients with kyphosis. KSAQ is a 10-item questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from 1 to 5. The mean of the responses is used to obtain a total score for the KSAQ. The questionnaire is related to patients' perception of appearance, with higher scores indicating a worsening of the deformity.
