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