Can a hunched back cause shoulder pain? researchers investigate

NCT ID NCT07349238

Summary

This study aimed to understand if having a more hunched upper back (thoracic kyphosis) is connected to shoulder pain, stiffness, weakness, and difficulty using the arm. Researchers measured the back curve, pain levels, shoulder movement, strength, and function in 30 adults with a hunched posture. The goal was to gather information to help guide future treatments, not to test a new therapy.
