Abstract

In this study, we present the difference in thoracic reposition sense in young people (24.00 ±2.20 years old) with and without habitual slouched posture in two target positions of half flexion and half extension. People with habitual slouched posture (n = 20; 11 men and 9 women) and people without slouched posture (n = 20; 10 men and 10 women) were recruited from three universities. Thoracic spine (T-spine) repositioning errors were measured in two target positions (half flexion and half extension). People with habitual slouched posture showed significantly higher thoracic repositioning error in the extension target position than did people without slouched posture (P<0.05). There was no difference in repositioning error in the flexion target position between the two groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, people with habitual slouched posture show lower T-spine repositioning sense in extension than do people without slouched posture. A rehabilitation program to treat habitual slouched posture, such as postural correction education, should be implemented for individuals with decreased position sense of the T-spine.
