THE ASSOCIATION AMONG HEAD TILT, SPINE MOBILITY, AND SPINAL DISORDERS IN YOUTHS
Abstract
It was aimed to determine the relationship among smartphone head tilt, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine mobility, and disorders in young adults. Forty young individuals were included in the study. Head tilt with the universal goniometer, spine mobility with the bubble inclinometer (Baseline Bubble Inclinometer, White Plains, NY), neck impairment with Core Outcome Measures Index, back pain with Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire, low back pain with Bournemouth Questionnaire, spinal function with Spine Functional Index, and general health quality with Nottingham Health Profile were measured. The relationship between the variables was examined with the Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients. A good correlation was found between cervical right lateral flexion and the mental health component of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (r= -0.421); cervical left rotation with the Core Outcome Measures Index (r= -0.431) and social isolation component of the Nottingham Health Profile (r= -0.493); thoracic right rotation with the emotional reactions (r= -0.502), social isolation (r= -0.426), and section one (r= -0.408) components of the Nottingham Health Profile; and lumbar right (r= 0.476) and left (r= 0.415) lateral flexion with the emotional reactions component of the Nottingham Health Profile.This study, which examined the relationship between spinal mobility, spinal disorders, and quality of life in young adults, demonstrated that spinal mobility is better associated with psychosocial conditions.
