Avaliação da curvatura torácica e da presença de dor em mulheres de diferentes faixas etárias

Abstract: OBJETIVO: demonstrar a utilização do método flexicurva para avaliação e comparação da cifose torácica em mulheres saudáveis de diferentes faixas etárias, além de detectar se há correlação entre dor e grau de cifose torácica utilizando-se a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA). MÉTODOS: o estudo foi composto por um grupo de mulheres G1 (n=24), com média de 20,67±1,69 anos e outro grupo G2 (n=24), com média de 65,63 ±8,07 anos, que foram submetidas à avaliação da curvatura torácica, com a utilização do método flexicurv… Show more

“…Balance in the elderly, 17 and these alterations are considered justifications for the presence of thoracic hyperkyphosis, which can cause displacement of the center of gravity, increase in postural instability, and greater susceptibility to falls. 5 According to Teixeira and Carvalho, 2 the Flexicurve method was used to assess thoracic kyphosis. This method was chosen because it is validated, does not expose individuals to radiation, being practical and accessible.…”

“…The present study's mean thoracic hyperkyphosis was 65.73± 10.57º (Table 1). According to Barrett et al, 5 it is considered physiological kyphosis between 20º and 50º, and from 50º, it is considered thoracic hyperkyphosis. Thus, it can be considered that the studied sample presented thoracic hyperkyphosis.…”
