ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:The purpose of present study was to introduces an exceptional case in measurement methods(CVA, CRA and Cobb angle) to identify the FHP with verified reliability and validity. Subjects: Three males aged 30 years were recruited: A Normal, B and C who have FHP. METHODS:All the subjects were measured CVA, CRA and Cobb angle with the Photogrammetry and Radiography. RESULTS:The results revealed that it is not enough for measurement methods to identify the FHP using CVA, CRA and Cobb angle. On Photogrammetry values; CVA had 65°, CRA was 148°of Normal subject A and CVA had 61°, CRA was 149°of FHP subject B and CVA had 51°, CRA was 149°of FHP subject C. On Radiography values; CVA had 73°, CRA was 148°and Cobb was 50°of Normal subject A and CVA had 70°, CRA was 150° and Cobb was 53°of FHP subject B and CVA had 61°, CRA was 153°and Cobb was 31°of FHP subject C. CONCLUSION:The reliable CVA, CRA and Cobb angle use methods from the previous studies might not be suitable for the diagnose the FHP. We think that it is necessary to have more detailed evaluation methods and the radiography is also needed for clear evaluations because of some possible exceptions.
