A member asked:
If a person has postural clean kyphosis then what would be hes/shes maximum curvature of postural kyphosis ?! 50 or 75 degree? or less or more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Postural kyphosis refers to an increase beyond the normal kyphosis of the spine related to poor posture, rather than a true structural abnormality. The upper limit of normal for thoracic kyphosis is 45 degrees, and so anything above that would be an increased kyphosis. Thank you.
