Abstract: The present study shows that abnormalities in pulmonary function and functional capacity are associated with postural changes in adults with CF. However the severity of the postural abnormalities does not negatively influence the CFQ-R domains.

“…Respiratory pressure and the PFT have been used to measure the strength of respiration muscles and lung capacity, which is one of routine procedures for measurement of respiratory function, along with PFT. These findings are supported by several previous studies, indicating that children who were capable of more vigorous physical activity showed better respiratory function compared with children without independent walking ability14,15,16 ) . The low cardiopulmonary capacity in CP is due to restrictive lung dysfunction resulting from limited movement and not because of parenchymal lung dysfunction3, 17, 18 ) .…”

“…In adults with CF, deterioration in lung function has been associated with increased dorsal kyphosis [11,36], with changes in vertical alignment of the chest [37] and also with increased prevalence of vertebral fractures [36]. These postural deviations alter the conformation of the rib cage structures, placing the respiratory muscles at a mechanical disadvantage and, therefore, may also contribute for the reduction of thorax mobility.…”

“…For all participants, four photographs were acquired in the anterior, posterior, and lateral (right and left) views after the anatomical points were located (Figure 2). The anatomical points were chosen based on previous studies that, using the same or a similar method, found an association between pulmonary function and posture in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases (21,22). The patients were placed in an orthostatic position on a sheet of paper on which their feet had been previously outlined, and they were instructed to adopt a comfortable position.…”
