Correlation between Sagittal Plane Curvature of the Upright Human Spine and Postural Stability in Active Young Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study. فصلنامه فیزیک درمانی. 1403; 14 (4)
چکیده: (214 مشاهده)
Objectives: Proper posture is essential for maintaining musculoskeletal health. The stability of the spine is largely dependent on the curvature of the human upright spine, and deviations in sagittal arches may signify a displacement in the body's center of gravity. This study aims to investigate the connection between spinal curvature and postural stability to promote optimal spinal health.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 120 university students who were recreationally active (60 males and 60 females) were selected and grouped by gender. Postural stability was assessed using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), and the craniovertebral angle was evaluated through photographic methods. Kyphosis and lordosis angles were also measured using specific anatomical landmarks. Correlation analyses were performed using Pearson's and Spearman's tests, with statistical significance set at p ≤ 0.05, to explore relationships between the variables.
Results: The study's results suggest that there were no significant correlations between thoracic kyphosis, lower back lordosis, and the Craniovertebral Angle (CVA) with BESS scores, except within the male group, where a significant correlation was found between BESS and kyphosis (p = 0.01).
Discussion: This study suggests that evaluating thoracic kyphosis could be crucial for enhancing postural stability in recreationally active adults. Further research could investigate interventions aimed at improving postural stability among individuals with kyphosis.
