Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the correlation between the forward head posture and the spinal alignment.
Methods : We examined the whole spine x-rays of the 144 student sample. We meas-ured the Craniovertebral angle (CVA), Cervical angle (CA), Thoracic kyphotic angle (TKA), lumbar lordosis angle (LLA) and Ferguson`s angle (FA) of the students. We then analyzed the relationship between these angles.
Results : CVA had correlation with CA, but it was weak. There was significant correlation between CVA and TKA. There were no significant correlation among CVA, LLA and FA.
Conclusions : According to above results, there is a negative relationship between the CVA and the TKA - in that higher CVAs yielded lower TKAs. But CVA had no significant correlation with LLA or FA.
