Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of our study; is to investigate how balance parameters are affected in comparison with healthy children in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis and to examine the relationship of these results with muscle strength, shortness-flexibility, pain, range of motion, functional status, physical activity level and quality of life. The hypothesis of the study is that children with thoracic hyperkyphosis have impaired balance compared to their healthy peers. With this finding, it can be ensured that clinical evaluations and treatment strategies for balance in children with hyperkifosis are included in the treatment plan. 31 children with thoracic hyperkyphosis were included in the evaluation group, and 31 children with normal physiological curves were included in the control group. Participants were evaluated once by the physical therapist.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was included chidren with hyperkyphosis at the İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. G\*Power 3.1.9.2 program was used to calculate the sample size. Due to the absence of MCID value for the Biodex Balance System in the literature while sample size calculation, the average values for males and females are 3.83 and 3.05 based on the "Overall Stability Index" based on the dominant side from a similar study conducted with healthy young adults; standard deviation values were placed in the formula as 1.03 and 1.13 (σ). (power=80%, α=0.05, significance level 2-tailed, and effect size d = 0.73). A total of 62 cases were decided to be included in the study, with 31 individuals per group. Participants were evaluated once by the physical therapist. Evaluation consist of demographic information form, Biodex Balance System, visual analog scale, "Hand-held" dynamometer, range of motion, pektoralis minor muscle flexibility, triple-hop distance test, 20-m sprint test, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, functional reach test and occiput-wall distance. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 22 statistical program was used for the statistical analysis of the data. Normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The "Chi-Square Test" was used to compare the difference between groups for categorical variables such as gender, dominant side, and educational status. The statistical analysis for group comparisons was performed using the "Mann-Whitney U Test" for non-parametric samples. Correlation analysis between the data was done with "Spearmann r Test". In all tests, a significance level of 0.05 (5%) was used.
