HYPERKYPHOSIS

This study tested whether a 12-week home exercise program could reduce a severe forward curve of the upper spine (hyperkyphosis) and improve physical ability and lung function in 62 heart patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Participants were split into three groups: those…

This study tested two types of exercises—thoracic extension and global postural corrective exercises—in 30 adults with hyper kyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back). The goal was to see which better reduces pain, improves spine movement, and corrects posture. Participants…

This study looked at whether common conditions like flat feet, knock knees, or scoliosis affect how children move and control their bodies. Researchers used wearable motion sensors and simple tests to compare 151 children with these conditions to healthy kids of the same age. The…

This study looked at whether people with hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back) have different muscle properties than those without it. Researchers measured muscle stiffness, tone, and elasticity in 88 adults using a handheld device. The goal was to understand how t…

This study looked at 36 children aged 7-14 with a rounded upper back (hyperkyphosis). Researchers measured how the position of the shoulder blade relates to arm movement, strength, and performance. The goal was to understand these connections to help prevent future shoulder probl…
