NCT ID NCT07441213
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study measured the stiffness, tone, and elasticity of back and chest muscles in 88 adults with and without hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back). Researchers used a handheld device and a flexible ruler to compare muscle properties and spinal curvature. The goal was to understand how hyperkyphosis affects muscle mechanics, not to test any treatment.
