Purpose : This study has been performed to find the effects of gluteus maximus strength exercise on spinal alignment and dynamic balance in subjects with kyphosis.
Methods : We measured the kyphosis angle of 150 subjects and selected the subjects whose kyphosis angle were more than 50°. Participants in this study were composed of 10 male and 12 female college students. Gluteus maximus strength exercise applied to them. They were measured by the formetric 4D and Biorescue. The data were analyzed by pared t-test of SPSS(Ver. 21) program.
Results : The results of the spinal alignment showed statistically significant decreases in pelvic tilt, kyphotic angle and lordotic angle after the intervention(p<0.05). However, the trunk imbalance, pelvic torsion, surface rotation and lateral deviation was not significantly different after exercise. The results of the dynamic balance showed statistically significant increases in limits of stability after the exercise(p<0.05).
Conclusion : These results suggest that gluteus maximus strength exercise may be effective for the spinal alignment and dynamic balance in subjects with kyphosis.
