About

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.

Full description

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

Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted with 54 subjects. Subjects aged 12 to 18 years with a kyphosis angle of ≥50º and the children and their parents who agreed to participate in the study were included. Individuals with Scheurmann kyphosis, scoliosis (Cobb angle >10°), and other congenital spine abnormalities were excluded.

The kyphosis angle was measured using a smartphone inclinometer. Dynamic posture was assessed using the Matthias test. Head position was obtained using occiput-wall distance.

Enrollment: 54 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12 to 18 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
