Kyphosis

Falling on to absorb the burden of the human spine, load distribution, to ensure full-range of motion to provide functionality to create and has a natural curvature. Thanks to this curvature of the spine and the surrounding muscles of the load is minimized. Viewed from the side, the thoracic spine (the area between the neck and waist and has a natural curvature towards the back called kyphosis. Healthy people expending energy to stand in an upright position for at least thoracic kyphosis is necessary. However, for various reasons increases the degree of kyphosis reach the limit and pathological and physiological balance.

What Are The Types Of Kyphosis ?

Structural and postural kyphosis, is known as. Structural joint and tend to bend the spine forward, there is another underlying disease. But there are many causes of joint is the most common cause of joint structural Scheurmann. Postural kyphosis is usually seen in puberty due to incorrect usage completely humpback posture and view. Scheurmann can stand upright posture of the person in the joint warning to fix, but it can correct your posture in postural joint.

Scheuermann ( Structural ) What Is A Joint ?

The result of structural changes in the spine and thoracic curvature occurs kamalasma increases. Adolescence is the most common cause of progressive joint. Stay upright postural joint between the most important person alert as a result of your stance is correct. It requires a serious treatment because the disease is progressive. The later cases, the patient's breathing and movements have been severely restricted.

Postural ( Depending On Position ) To Increase What Causes Kyphosis ?

In the thoracic region the flexor bone-turnover markers in the region back the natural curvature of the balance of muscle force and length of protection. Depending on the usage of the imbalance between these two muscles that occurs the wrong time may cause an increase in the curvature. Especially in children , adolescents, and working a desk job in a wrong position, depending on the increase in kyphosis may occur. Lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle disrupts the balance between the muscles. The front and back muscles increases the curvature in gucsuzlesmes time as a result of stretching of muscles.

What Are The Symptoms Of Kyphosis Increase ?

  • The Increase In The Curvature Of The Back : With the increase of the curvature of the back, the shoulders should rotate forward. The position of the head comes forward. The appearance of a hunchback
  • Pain : Nov burden and the change in the length of the spine as a result of the increase of back , shoulder, neck and back pain occurs in the region.
  • Limitation Of Motion : Kyphosis is broken because of increase. Neck, shoulders and body movements are restricted.
  • Decrease In Respiratory Capacity : In the later cases the structure of the thorax to become corrupted respiratory function may be affected.
  • Neurological Symptoms : In the later cases, the spine has become corrupted because the structure of nerve compression may occur. Accordingly, tingling and numbness in various parts of the body may experience a loss of power.

In the diagnosis and assessment of joint

The determination of the type of the first joint is very important. The easiest method for correction of this difference in the understanding of the patient's posture is prompted. Posture correct posture postural structural joint joint in a patient while I fix it. After separation of the degree of structural and functional kyphosis kyphosis is measured. The curvatures of 55 degrees require treatment. Curvature outside of the shoulder, waist and neck region of the movements are evaluated. In the later cases, breathing tests, and a neurological examination is performed.

Kyphosis Increase What Is The Treatment ?

Early diagnosis is very important in the treatment of kyphosis. Starting posture increased over time, especially in puberty, it may be permanent. Structural (Scheuermann) differ in the treatment of joint and postural kyphosis. Postural joint can be corrected with physical therapy and patient education. Orthotic therapy and physical therapy in the next of structural joint may require surgery.

Physical Therapy Methods Applied In Increments Of Kyphosis

  • Manual Therapy: With techniques that are applied to the spine, spinal mobility and smoothness is provided again.
  • Exercise: Many exercise and upright posture, maintaining this position for the preservation of applications. Strengthening , stretching , flexibility, and posture exercises is very effective in the treatment of kyphosis.
  • Clinical Pilates : The practice of Clinical Pilates superficial and deep muscles of the spine in the correct posture reinforcing its circumference, which provides you didn't bend and is quite effective. Helps you maintain healthy posture and reduce joint.
  • Patient Education: In order to avoid breaking the back of the patient's posture and support the treatment do's and don'ts about the patient education provided.
