“…With the study by van Ham et al, (1997) indicating that 36% of CSD women have complications and could require physiotherapy treatment, the low mean number of patients (mean=5) being treated by the participants demon strates a low level of referral from obstetricians. There is evidence that physiotherapy can successfully treat post partum problems post CSD such as pelvic floor dysfunction and lower back pain (Britnell et al, 2005), and that in hospital prophylactic treatment should also be rendered. What is note worthy is the main reason selected for not having treated a patient post CSD was not having been on that particular clinical rotation, with only one par ticipant selecting "lack of referral from a doctor" (Figure 1).…”

“…This specific sample group was chosen because most cases of postural kyphosis occur in females (Hanfy, Awad, & Allah, 2012). The specific age group chosen was selected to limit structural changes that occur with increasing age (in the middle and elder years) (Britnell et al, 2005).

“…Postural kyphosis most commonly presents in young women owing to a number of factors, such as: sitting with a slouched posture; carrying heavy bags or backpacks to school or university; watching television; breast development leading to insecurity in some individuals (thereby causing shoulder protraction); and heavy manual work, as well as those owing to fashion trends, such as wearing high heeled shoes (Britnell et al, 2005). The normal range of kyphosis is between twenty and forty degrees, but it does vary with age and gender (Heary & Albert, 2007).…”

“…Women with large breasts have a tendency to have an increased kyphosis because of the increased weight of the breast tissue. In older women (twenty five to forty five years of age), the increased kyphosis has been attributed to certain sporting activities, financial stresses, physical abuse, pregnancy and wearing high heeled shoes (Britnell et al, 2005).…”

Exercises Flexicurve® Ruler Kyphosis Women a b s t r a c tPurpose: This study serves to determine the effectiveness of either chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine or stretch and strengthening exercises (stretching the pectoralis major muscle and strengthening the rhomboid, middle and inferior trapezius muscles) versus the combined treatment of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine in conjunction with stretch and strengthening exercises.Method: A randomised study design with thirty female participants between the ages of twenty and thirty nine was selected. Group 1 (n ¼ 10) received chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine. Group 2 (n ¼ 10) received chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine as well as stretch and strengthening exercises i.e. stretching the pectoralis major muscles and strengthening the rhomboid, middle and inferior trapezius muscles. Group 3 (n ¼ 10) received stretch and strengthening exercises.The stretch and strengthening exercises were performed in the consultation rooms to ensure that the participants were complying with the treatment and doing the exercises properly. The study consisted of seven consultations for Group 1 (they received treatment once a week for six weeks) and for Groups 2 and 3 there were nineteen consultations (they received three treatments a week for six weeks). Objective data was recorded at the beginning of the first, fourth and seventh consultations for Group 1, and the first, tenth and nineteenth consultations for Groups 2 and 3. On the seventh consultation (for Group 1) and nineteenth consultation for Groups 2 and 3, only data collection was done. Objective data were obtained by using the Flexicurve ® Ruler measurements for the angle of kyphosis.Visual analysis was done by taking lateral (sagittal) view photographs at the beginning of the initial and final consultations.Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant statistical changes for the intragroup results for all three groups. No significant statistical difference was found between the groups for the inter-group analysis. Conclusion:The study showed that all three treatment protocols for Groups 1, 2, and 3 were effective. However, Group 1 had not shown a great improvement in their postural kyphosis, h e a l t h s a g e s o n d h e i d 2 1 ( 2 0 1 6 ) 3 0 3 e3 0 8http://dx
