ABSTRACT

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine how changes in the cervical spine correlate with body posture changes in the whole body, and to find out the significance of complementary clinical application X-ray and Chuna posture analysis. Methods From January 1, 2019 to October 31, 2019, the results of 27 patients with pain in the vertebral region were analysed in accordance with the results of cervical X-ray and Chuna posture analysis. In order to confirm the significance of Chuna posture analysis results, the survey of 187 Chuna standard curriculum instruction qualification certifiers was conducted and the responses of 47 of them were analyzed. Results The occiput-atlas cline angle increases in both hypolordosis/hyperlordosis groups based on cervical lordosis angle, and increases further than in the hyperlordosis group. There were significant correlations between the changes in the cervical spine and the body posture changes in the whole body. There were no significant differences between cervical X-ray sagittal parameters and the body posture analysis parameters based on the patient's major disease codes. Conclusions As a result of conducting a survey on the clinical importance of the body posture analysis parameters, the importance of cervical parameters was verified. Changes in the cervical spine may not only cause other changes in the cervical region, but also affect the body posture changes in the whole body. The complementary application of X-ray and Chuna posture analysis results is helpful in clinical diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. (J Korean Med Rehabil 2020;30(2):125-137)
