Background: vital capacity and its relationship with posture has previously been studied. Variances in posture has an effect on the inspiratory and expiratory pressures. Spirometry is the preferred choice for measurement of vital capacities. Chronic deviations in posture could have long lasting effects on vital capacity. Physical therapists are prone to suffering long term musculoskeletal disorders, thus affirming the need to have screening protocols in place to prevent onset of such disorders. Methods: two hundred undergraduate physical therapy students were included in the study. Rounded shoulder posture was assessed using vernier calipers (in supine, distance between tip of shoulder and table was measured). Forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volumes were assed using spirometry. Conclusions: significant differences were obtained in readings of forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume between those with rounded shoulders and those without (p-value= 0.000 and 0.003 respectively).Postural changes effect vital capacities. Undergraduate students should be educated regarding proper postures, in order to prevent long term effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
