Effect of playing basketball on the posture of cervical spine in healthy collegiate students

Abstract: Objective: To assess and compare the cervical posture of collegiate students and collegiate basketball players. Procedure: Craniovertebral angle and Sagittal head tilt were measured using photogrammetric method in 15 collegiate students and 15 collegiate basketball players.Results: Significant differences were not found between two groups for any of the two angles at p<0.05. Conclusions: Playing basketball does not place any significant impact on the posture of cervical spine of collegiate students.

“…When measuring photographic measurements, consideration should also be given to the impact of using instruments such as the Smartphone Surgimap application. Similar findings were found by Niekerk et al when the images were utilized to determine the location of the head, shoulder, and chest [ 17 ]. Also, Iunes have observed similar findings when measuring global posture in standing [ 18 ].…”

“…These are different from linear measurements, which express postural deviations as distances between 2 bony landmarks. 1 Comparisons between 2 different values of a particular angle have yielded significant information regarding posture in many studies, [2][3][4][5] as normative values for postural angles of the sagittal plane do not exist in the literature. 6 Quantitative data obtained with postural angles can be used to evaluate and monitor the changes that occur during the rehabilitation process by comparing the previous and present values of an angle.…”
