Thoracic kyphosis, Pinch grip strength, Tattoo artist

Background: This study has been undertaken to assess thoracic kyphosis and pinch grip strength in tattoo artist. Tattoo artist appear to sit for prolonged periods of time in awkward posture while grasping small vibrating tools that they use to perform fine. Prolonged sitting combined with an awkward posture might contribute to increased risk of developing spinal dysfunction. Aim and objectives: To assess thoracic kyphosis and pinch grip strength in tattoo artist. Method: sixty participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.flexicurve ruler was used to assess thoracic kyphosis and pinch grip dynamometer was used to measure pinch grip strength.pearsons correlation test was done to determine the correlation. Statistical analysis was done using python software. Result: There is weak correlation or negligible correlation between non dominant left hand and thoracic kyphosis index (p=0.186, r=0.155). Values between dominant right hand and thoracic kyphosis index (p=0.104, r=0.212) which shows weak correlation or negligible correlation between dominant Right hand and Thoracic Kyphosis Index. Conclusion: It has been concluded that there is weak correlation between thoracic kyphosis and pinch grip strength in tattoo artist. Thoracic kyphosis were not associated with an increase effect on pinch grip strength.
