What Is Kyphosis?

Kyphosis is a fairly common condition for teens and adults. Often, when someone

has kyphosis, you won't be able to notice it and it won't cause any problems. In some

cases, though, people with kyphosis can develop a hump on their back, feel

uncomfortable, or have trouble breathing properly.

The backbone is made up of a column of small disc-shaped bones, called vertebrae,

that are held together by ligaments. The vertebrae in the middle and upper part of

the back are called thethoracic vertebrae. They're attached to the ribs. The thoracic

vertebrae are the ones that are rounded forward too much when someone has

kyphosis.

Different types of kyphosis can affect teens, and each has its own cause:

Postural kyphosis is the most common type of kyphosis. It typically appears

during the teen years and is more common in girls than boys. Postural kyphosis

can happen when bones and muscles develop in an abnormal way as they grow,

possibly because of slouching or poor posture. Postural kyphosis can cause mild

discomfort but rarely leads to problems later in life.

Scheuermann's kyphosis usually appears during adolescence, especially during

a growth spurt. No one knows what causes it, but it can run in families.

Scheuermann's kyphosis causes the vertebrae to look like wedges, rather than

rectangles, when viewed from the side on X-rays. It is slightly more common

among boys than girls.

Congenital kyphosis happens when the spine develops abnormally while a baby

is still in the mother's womb. Several vertebrae can be fused together or the

bones can form improperly. This type of kyphosis can get worse as a child grows.

It is important to check a baby or child with congenital kyphosis for other

orthopedic problems and heart or kidney defects.

C O N C LU T I O N

In this research, after taking Pilates exercise for more than four months, BASI

method is proven to give the better/ideal posture for people with kyphosis as can be

seen on the photo.

BASI Block system can help strengthening and stretching also gain flexibility for ky-

phosis people and improve mobility of the spine into flexion, extension, lateral and

rotation.
