Abstract
In recent years, body physique has been of growingconcern to researchers due to observations of its relation to differentskeletal abnormalities and systemic diseases. To investigate theeffect of body physique on postural parameters in healthy subjects. A prospective study investigated postural parameters of sixty healthy subjects (17 - 25) years, BMI ({u02C2} 30) kg \ m2. Lordotic angle ITL - ILS (max) in males showed a significant increase inendomorph (46.75 ±3.89) than ectomorph and mesomorph (31.4 ± 1.73) (35.25 ± 1.48) respectively, whileit showed no significant difference infemales. There was no statistical difference between the three groups regarding the other parameters {trunk imbalance, pelvic tilt, pelvic torsion, surface rotation (rms), lateral deviation (rms), and kyphotic angle ICT - ITL (max)}. Females of the ectomorph group showed lower trunk imbalance (2.5 ± 0.4), higher surface rotation (3.6 ± 0.7) and lordotic angle ITL - ILS (max) (48.1 ± 3.93) thanmales {(9.2 ± 1.26), (2.5 ± 0.37 ), and ( 31.4 ± 1.73 )} respectively
