independently for 3 minutes without an asymmetric walking pattern.Lateral radiographs of the spine were taken to evaluate vertebral fractures with thesemi-quantitative method of Genant, and to assess the degree of thoracic kyphosis using the Cobb angle: hyperkyphosis was defined as Cobb angle ≥50°...
Objective: Increasing thoracic kyphosis is a typical clinical feature of osteoporosis. Recent clinical studies suggest a correlation between increased lumbar lordosis and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between lumbar lordosis and BMD. ...
Conclusion: Increased BMI percentile is associated with increased thoracic kyphosis in AIS patients and nonscoliotic adolescents. Excess weight may reduce anterior vertebral growth. AIS patients have an increased pelvic incidence compared with nonscoliotic adolescents; however, this variable is not ...
Older adults with an increased thoracic kyphosis are more likely to fall within the next year. We suggest clinical attention for underlying causes. Because patients with increased thoracic curvature of the spine might have underlying osteoporotic vertebral fractures, clinicians should be aware of the ...
Extension of the posterior upper-most instrumented vertebra (UIV) into the upper thoracic (UT) spine allows for a higher degree of spinal alignment correction and reduced incidence of proximal junction kyphosis (PJK) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. Our clinical experience suggests that ...

Decreased thoracic kyphosis was found with increased anchor density for Lenke 1 and 2 curve patterns. There were no associations found between anchor density and Lenke 5 curves. For Lenke 1 curve patterns at 2 years postoperatively, in the high- versus low-anchor density cohorts, there were ...
