Influence of Thoracic Flexion Syndrome on Proprioception in the Thoracic Spine

[Purpose] This study was performed to determine the difference in thoracic repositioning sense in young people with and without thoracic flexion syndrome (TFS) in target positions of half extension. [Subjects] People with TFS (n = 15; 7 men and 8 women) and people without TFS (n = 15; 7 men and 8 wo...

description [Purpose] This study was performed to determine the difference in thoracic repositioning sense in young people with and without thoracic flexion syndrome (TFS) in target positions of half extension. [Subjects] People with TFS (n = 15; 7 men and 8 women) and people without TFS (n = 15; 7 men and 8 women) were recruited from three universities. Subjects were guided into a sitting extension target posture and were asked to move from a neutral position (2 s) to an extension target position (2 s); 10 trials were performed. [Results] People with TFS showed a significantly higher thoracic repositioning error in the extension target position than people without TFS. [Conclusion] People with TFS show a higher thoracic spine repositioning error in extension than people without TFS. A rehabilitation program to treat TFS should be implemented for individuals with decreased position sense of the thoracic spine.
