[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of spinal curvature on the shear force applied to the buttocks while sitting comfortably on a chair. [Subjects] The subjects were 10 elderly people with kyphosis in a facility providing health care services for the elderly. For comparison, 11 healthy young male subjects were recruited. [Method] To compare the shear force in elderly individuals with kyphosis with that in healthy young individuals, the shear force was measured using a force plate while subjects sat comfortably on a chair. [Results] The shear force recorded in the elderly subjects (8.4 ± 1.4 [%BW]) was significantly lower than that in the young subjects (9.5 ± 0.7 [%BW]). [Conclusions] The results suggest the possibility that the shear force applied to the buttocks in elderly individuals with kyphosis is decreased compared with that in healthy young individuals without kyphosis.
