Characteristics of Sagittal Spinal Alignment of Male University Students in the Upright Standing Position: Focus on Thoracic Hyperkyphosis

[Purpose] This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of hyperkyphosis in male university students. [Participants Methods] The angles thoracic kyphosis, upper spine, lower lumbar lordosis, sacral tilt 100 students were measured standing position using a Spinal-Mouse®. [Results] subjects with 40° or greater was 45% (45/100 subjects). kyphosis angle used divide into group normal results two groups compared. No significant correlation found between lordosis group, but weak group. [Conclusion] 45.0%, suggesting that there may be no this condition.
