| Background: Thoracic hyper-kyphosis is one of the most common postural disorders of the spinal column. Decreased strength of spinal extensor muscles and range of motion of joints such as the shoulder is associated with hyperkyphosis, which can affect the physical function and life of an individual. The f present study aimed to investigate the effect of thoracic hyper-kyphosis on upper extremity function among female students. Methods: The current cross-sectional study included a population consisting of 226 female students aged 13-18 years old divided into two groups: 113 participants with normal and 113 with abnormal thoracic hyper-kyphosis. The kyphosis angle was measured using a flexible ruler, and the Y test, Davis test, and disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) questionnaire were used to measure upper extremity function. Independent t-test and Pearson’s correlation were employed for data analysis. Results: The Davis, Y, and DASH test results showed a significant difference in upper extremity function between subjects with and those without thoracic hyper-kyphosis (P<0.05), with the abnormal thoracic hyper-kyphosis group showing poorer function than the normal group. The results also demonstrated a significant relationship between the kyphosis angle and the Davis, Y, and DASH tests (P<0.05). Conclusion: Overall, kyphosis abnormality was found to lead to weak upper extremity function, and an inverse relationship was observed between the kyphosis angle and the Davis test and Y balance test. Moreover, a direct relationship was found between the kyphosis angle and DASH test. | ||
