7/6/2016 Cobb Angle of Kyphosis Thoracic Kyphosis Progresses With Age Kyphosis is a normal sagittal plane • Birth to 30 years kyphosis is 20 ° to 30 ° convexity of the thoracic spine. • Progresses after age 40 • more rapidly in women Cobb angle greater than 40 ° -- the • 5 ° per decade after age 50 95th percentile of normal for young adults -- is commonly defined as hyperkyphosis.

7/6/2016 Vertebral Fractures, Osteoporosis and Prevalence of Cobb Angle Hyperkyphosis Kyphosis are Linked But Not Synonymous 20-40% prevalence in older adults, varies by: • Older women with higher Cobb angles more likely to • Age have osteoporosis and vertebral fractures (SOF, FIT) • Race • Sex • However, 2/3 of men and women with most severe • Measurement tool kyphosis had no evidence of underlying osteoporosis • Position or vertebral fractures (Rancho Bernardo) • Degenerative disc disease, not vertebral fractures, was the most common finding associated with kyphosis Takahashi, et al., Osteoporos Int, 2005; Katzman, et al., J Gerontol Med Sci, 2011; Schneider, et al., J Rheumatol, 2004; Kado, et al., J Gerontol Ettinger, et al., Osteoporos Int, 1994; Ensrud, et al., J Amer Geriatr Soc, Med Sci, 2005; Kado, et al., Spine, 2006 1997; 1997Schneider, et al., J Rheumatol, 2004 Vertebral Fractures, Osteoporosis and Hyperkyphosis: Impaired Neuromuscular Impairments Kyphosis are Linked But Not Synonymous Poor spinal extensor muscle strength and quality • Vertebral fractures (FIT, SOF) Loss of flexibility: • Low bone mineral density (FIT) • spinal extension • Degenerative disc disease (Rancho Bernardo, SOF) • functional axial rotation • Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (Health ABC) • shoulders, hips • hamstrings • Poor paraspinal extensor muscle strength (Sinaki) and quality (Health ABC) Flexed posture • sway-back posture Poor trunk proprioception Hinman, et al.

7/6/2016 Sex Differences in Phenotypes of Kyphosis Hyperkyphosis: Functional Impairments • Women • Gait speed – low bone mineral and muscle density • Timed Up and Go – vertebral fractures • Chair stand • Balance – paraspinal muscle weakness • Stair climbing • Functional reach • Men • Vital capacity – degenerative disc disease – diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) – Scheurmann’s kyphosis Katzman, et al., 2011, 2014; Hirose, et al., Clin Biomech, 2004; Balzini, et al., J Am Geriatr Soc. 2003; Kado, et al., J Gerontol Med Sci, 2005; Lombardi, et al., Ensrud, et al., JAGS, 1997; Ettinger, et al., Osteopros Int, 1994; Kado, et al., JBMR, 2014; Osteo Int, 2004; Kado, et al.,2005 Schneider, et al., J Rheumatol, 2004; Kado, et al., J Gerontol Med Sci, 2005; Katzman, W, et al.

7/6/2016 Good Movement Strategies Summary of Evidence Reduce Risk of Vertebral Fracture Safe Functional Motion (SFM) test assesses body • Hyperkyphosis is a risk factor for adverse health mechanics during activities of daily living (ADLs) in outcomes adults 50 years and older with osteoporosis, N=878. • Clinically useful marker for possible prevalent vertebral • Scoring assesses spinal loading, balance, strength and flexibility fracture (VF) during ADLs • May not have prior clinical or radiographic VF • ADLs: Sit-floor, climb-carry, sweep, load washer/dryer, night walk • Increases risk for fractures • Results: Better SFM score associated with fewer prevalent and incident vertebral fracture (VF) • Increases risk for falls • 18% - 27% lower odds of VF at 1 and 3 years respectively • Increases spinal load • Best posture and movement during everyday activity reduces risk for vertebral fracture MacIntyre, N, et al., Osteoporos Int, 2014; Macintyre, et al., Physiotherapy Canada, 2013 Change in Flexed Posture, Musculoskeletal Impairments and Physical Performance After Exercise Katzman, et al., Arch Phys Med & Rehabil, 2007 Research in exercise for hyperkyphosis • Uncontrolled trial; 21 women 72 ± 4.3 years with kyphosis >50° • High intensity spinal muscle strengthening, stretching and postural training for 3 months Results: • Kyphosis improved 6° (11%) • Spinal extensor strength gain (53%) • Physical performance test improved (7%) • 7
