Summary

This study examined the comparison of dynamic posture and head position in kyphotic ındividuals according to gender.

Methods: A total of 54 female and male adolescents (between the ages of 12 and 18) with a thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle of ≥ 50° were divided into two groups according to gender.

The kyphosis angle, dynamic postural performance, and forward head position were measured using a flexible ruler, Mathiass test, and occiput wall distance.

Conditions

  • Kyphosis Thoracic
  • Postural, Thoracic Kyphosis
  • Postural Kyphosis

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The kyphosis angle

The subject was positioned in a neutral standing position. the short side of the phone was placed on the T1-3 spinous process and the protractor was set to 0°. Subsequently, the phone was placed on the T12, and the angular value displayed on the screen was recorded as the kyphotic angle.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

dynamic postural performance

The test measures spinal alignment deviations during static loading in the 90° shoulder flexion position. The test measurements are made in a standing position with arms 90° flexed, without weight, and after 30 seconds with weight.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

forward head position

The individual stands with his heels and pelvis in contact with the wall. The severity of kyphosis is interpreted by measuring the distance between the occiput and the wall in cm with the head facing forward. The intensity of kyphosis is classified as mild (≤5 cm), moderate (5.1-8 cm) and severe (\>8 cm)
