Hyperkyphosis is a common postural defect with high prevalence in the 20 to 50 year old population. It appears to compromise proximal scapular stability. Grip and pinch strength are used to evaluate general upper extremity function.
The aim of this study was to compare pinch and grip strength between young women with and without hyperkyphosis.
Thirty young women (18-40 years old) with hyperkyphosis and 30 healthy women matched for age and body mass index participated in the study. Hyperkyphosis was confirmed by measuring the kyphosis angle with a flexible ruler. Grip strength was measured with the Waisa method and a dynamometer. Pinch strength was assessed with a pinch meter.
Grip (P= 0.03) and pinch strength (P= 0.04) were significantly lower in women with hyperkyphosis compared to the control group. Kyphosis angle correlated weakly with grip (r= 0.26) and pinch strength (r= 0.23).
Hyperkyphotic posture has led to decreased grip and pinch strength compared to people without hyperkyphosis.
脊柱后凸是一种常见的姿势缺陷,在20至50岁人群中患病率很高。它似乎会损害肩胛骨近端的稳定性。握力和捏力用于评估上肢的总体功能。
本研究的目的是比较有和没有脊柱后凸的年轻女性之间的捏力和握力。
30名患有脊柱后凸的年轻女性(18 - 40岁)和30名年龄及体重指数相匹配的健康女性参与了该研究。通过用软尺测量后凸角度来确诊脊柱后凸。用韦萨法和测力计测量握力。用捏力计评估捏力。
与对照组相比,患有脊柱后凸的女性的握力(P = 0.03)和捏力(P = 0.04)显著更低。后凸角度与握力(r = 0.26)和捏力(r = 0.23)的相关性较弱。
与没有脊柱后凸的人相比,脊柱后凸姿势导致握力和捏力下降。
