Abstract :ABSTRACT Objective: Reduced cervical lordosis, frequently seen in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BPPV);, has recently drawn attention to cervical posture disorder in the etiology. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between BPPV and cervical posture. Material and Methods: Twenty-seven patients with BPPV insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean age 45.5±8.07 years); and 29 healthy volunteers without BPPV insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean age 36.0±9.11 years); were included in our study. Cervical spine range of motion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ROM); measurements, cervical lordosis angle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(fleche cervicale); and posture evaluation were performed with DIERS Formetric 4D imaging device. The neck disability index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NDI); and neck pain Visual Analog Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VAS); of each patient was recorded. Results: In cervical ROM assessment, all cervical ROMs were significantly lower in the case group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. Neck pain VAS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.004); and NDI insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. There was a significant positive correlation between fleche cervicale and thoracic kyphosis index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r = 0.630, p <0.01);. Conclusion: No association was found between BPPV and cervical posture. Decreased cervical lordosis is a consequence of BPPV, not an etiologic cause. Painful cervical pathologies may accompany BPPV.
