Brief 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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Matthias test

  Matthias test assesses dynamic postural performance

  1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Occiput wall distance

  1 year

Study Arms (2)

Female

Thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle of ≥ 50° The kyphosis angle, dynamic postural performance, forward head position

Diagnostic Test: The kyphosis angle; Diagnostic Test: dynamic postural performance; Diagnostic Test: forward head position

Male

Thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle of ≥ 50° The kyphosis angle, dynamic postural performance, forward head position

Diagnostic Test: The kyphosis angle; Diagnostic Test: dynamic postural performance; Diagnostic Test: forward head position

Interventions

The kyphosis angle DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

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.

Also known as: Thorasic kyphosis

Female; Male

dynamic postural performance DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

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.

Also known as: Matthias Test

Female; Male

forward head position DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

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)

Also known as: Occiput-Wall Distance

Female; Male

Eligibility Criteria
