- Title
Posture and cystic fibrosis.
- Authors
Tattersall, R.; Walshaw, M. J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the link between posture and cystic fibrosis (CF). Posture can be classified as static or dynamic. People who have CF appear to have poor posture and complain of persistent back pain. One of the reasons why CF patients may experience musculoskeletal problems is because the average life span of individuals born with CF is into their 4th decade and musculoskeletal problems become more prevalent with age.
