Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy from Gynecology and Obstetrics Summary: This study was conducted to compare between the degree of kyphosis and postural stiffness in the thoracic spine between pre- and post-menopausal women. Also, to examine the concept of age-related postural stiffness by measuring changes in the size of the thoracic curve of pre and post-menopausal women when standing in their usual relaxed posture versus their maximally erect posture and the ability to correct posture. Sixty pre-and sixty post-menopausal women participated in this study. They were selected randomly from physical therapy department in El Sahel Teaching Hospital. Pre-menopausal women's ages were ranged from 35 to 45 years old, post-menopausal women's ages were ranged from 55 to 65 years old with at least 5 years post menopause. A surveyor{u2019}s {uFB02}exicurve was used to measure the size of the thoracic curve (thoracic kyphosis) and estimate postural stiffness. The results of this study found that there was a statistical significant increase in the mean value of index of kyphosis relaxed and erect in post-menopausal group (17.07 ± 4.22) and (14.56 ± 4.36) respectively, when compared with its corresponding value in pre-menopausal group (12.95 ± 3.21) and (9.47 ± 3.34) respectively. There was a statistical significant decrease in value of index of kyphosis difference, percent and ratio in post-menopausal group (2.51 ± 1.37), (15.36 ± 9.27) and (1.16 ± 0.16) respectively, when compared with its corresponding value in pre-menopausal group (3.48 ± 1.78), (27.31 ±14.27) and (1.40 ± 0.35) respectively. So, it can be concluded that the post-menopausal women demonstrated more thoracic kyphosis and postural stiffness in their thoracic spine than pre-menopausal women.
