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.
