Résumé
Hyperkyphosis is frequently found nowadays due to the change in current lifestyles and age-related system decline. A simple hyperkyphosis measurement can be made easily using the perpendicular distance from the landmark to the wall. However, the existing evidence applied two different landmarks [occiput and the seventh cervical vertebra (C7)] and the measurement using rulers was susceptible to error due to their misalignment. To assess an appropriate landmark for thoracic kyphosis measurement using distance from the wall (KMD), by comparing between occiput and C7, as measured using rulers and verified using data from a specially developed machine, the so-called infrared-gun kyphosis wall distance tool (IG-KypDisT), and the Cobb angles. Community-dwelling individuals with a risk of thoracic hyperkyphosis (age The outcomes from both landmarks differed by approximately 0.8 cm ( The present findings support the reliability and validity of KMD assessments at C7 using rulers as a simple standard measure of thoracic hyperkyphosis that can be used in various clinical, community, and research settings.

Background

Hyperkyphosis is frequently found nowadays due to the change in current lifestyles and age-related system decline. A simple hyperkyphosis measurement can be made easily using the perpendicular distance from the landmark to the wall. However, the existing evidence applied two different landmarks [occiput and the seventh cervical vertebra (C7)] and the measurement using rulers was susceptible to error due to their misalignment.

The present findings support the reliability and validity of KMD assessments at C7 using rulers as a simple standard measure of thoracic hyperkyphosis that can be used in various clinical, community, and research settings.
