Statistical Analysis and Simulation of Orthostatic Position by Means of the Pedometer in Patients with Hyperkyphosis

Summary/Abstract: The essential element of the “modern” man is a long time spent in the office, in front of the computer or on the phone. Such a posture leads to substantial modifications to the center of gravity, which leads to the set in of hyperkyphosis. The statistical analysis and simulation of such a symptomatology can help both the doctor and the medical recovery specialists in the early prevention of the body posture, since the primary symptomatology of the hyperkyphosis cannot be detected following a primary consultation, being usually mistaken for a kyphotic attitude. The statistical study described above offers a new, non-invasive approach in the early detection of kyphotic conditions, but also a useful tool in the evaluation of the spine’s deformation degree.
