“…In the cited study, thoracic kyphosis increased in boys but did not change in girls studied at 8, 11 and 15 years of age [9]. Mellin and Poussa also reported that thoracic kyphosis -measured by inclinometer -was less in girls compared to boys.…”

“…The reproducibility for measurements with this modification of Debrunner's kyphometer has been evaluated in young adults, but not in young children [9,17]. In young adults, the reported coefficients of variation were low: 8.4%, 7.4% and 5.4% for kyphosis, lordosis, and sagittal mobility, respectively [17].…”

“…6,7 The present findings showed no difference in outer margin values between groups, although the vertical differences in craniofacial morphology were related to the outer margin measurements. 28 The anatomy and position of the cervical curvature in space depend on various body factors, including ethnicity, [29][30][31] gender, 29,30,[32][33][34] age, 3,32,33 stature, 35 and craniofacial morphology. 4,10,11,[36][37][38][39] Differences in these correlations might be attributed to factors such as racial difference, 39 although the association between craniofacial measurements and atlas morphology varied with sex and age.…”

“…Suboccipital muscles attached to this region determine head posture, controlling fine through complicated movements for compound flexion and extension, as well as lateral flexion with rotation. 1 Dimensions of C1 as well as head and neck posture are associated with factors such as craniofacial morphology, including the cranial base, [2][3][4] upper airway space, 5 occlusion, [2][3][4][5][6][7] and temporomandibular disorders. 8,9 Furthermore, head posture is linked to the development and function of dentofacial structures.…”

Objective: To describe cervical vertebra morphology in subjects with different anteroposterior jaw relationships. Materials and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 31 female subjects aged 19 to 41 years were evaluated. Subjects constituted two groups according to the ANB angle: group 1, skeletal Class II (ANB angle .5); and group 2, skeletal Class III (ANB angle ,1). Nine linear measurements and one angular measurement were used to assess the vertebral morphology. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean atlas dorsal arch height was significantly shorter in Class II subjects compared with those in Class III (P , .05). The cervical vertebra morphological analysis by cone-beam computed tomography was of comparable precision to three-dimensional computed tomography evaluations. This study confirmed previous findings that Class II subjects have significantly lower atlas dorsal arch heights.

Universidad de Murcia. María Rodríguez-IniestaFacultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte. Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia.Se valoró la disposición sagital de la columna vertebral en gimnastas especialistas en la modalidad de trampolín. Se realizó un estudio transversal, en el que participaron 69 gimnastas de trampolín (35 mujeres y 34 varones) con una edad media de 14.97 + 4.77 años, y de 6.61+4 años de entrenamiento. La valoración se realizó en tres posiciones: bipedestación relajada, sedentación relajada y flexión máxima del tronco. En todas las posiciones se diferenció la curva dorsal y la lumbar. Para la cuantificación de los grados se utilizó un inclinómetro ISOMED Unilevel-95. En bipedestación la cifosis dorsal media fue 44.96º+8.23º, la lordosis lumbar fue de 36.25º+10.1º. En máxima flexión del tronco desde la bipedestación posición test dedos suelo (FMT-DDS) los grados de la curvatura dorsal y lumbar fueron de 51.55º+11º y 29.29º+7.89º. En máxima flexión del tronco desde la sedentación test dedos planta (FMT-DDP) los grados de la curvatura dorsal y lumbar fueron de 57.94º+15º y 27.72º+7.51º. En sedentación relajada los grados de la curvatura dorsal y lumbar fueron de 50.28º+10º y 17.48º+9.6º respectivamente. Los valores medios del plano sagital de los gimnastas especialistas en trampolín muestran en bipedestación valores de hipercifosis para la curva dorsal, con una lordosis lumbar normal. En la flexión máxima del tronco se observan valores normales para la cifosis dorsal y valores hipercifóticos para la curva lumbar. En sedentación se observan valores hipercifóticos tanto en la curva dorsal como en la lumbar. Los gimnastas presentan tendencia a una mayor cifosis dorsal en bipedestación y en flexión de tronco. Las gimnastas presentan tendencia a una mayor lordosis en bipedestación y menor cifosis lumbar en flexión y sedentación.Palabras clave: plano sagital; cifosis torácica; lordosis lumbar; gimnastas de trampolín.

E-mail: mpsainz@pdi.ucam.eduThe sagittal plane of the spine was measured in trampoline gymnasts. In this cross-sectional study, 69 club-level trampoline gymnasts (35 females and 34 males) participated. They had a mean age of 14.97+4.77 years and had participated in this sport for 6.61+4 years. The sagittal plane was measured in three positions: standing, seated, and maximal trunk flexion. In all positions the thoracic and lumbar curvature angu...
