NCT ID NCT07122791
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding motor imagery training (mentally practicing movements) to a standard exercise program, delivered via tele-rehabilitation, could improve posture, pain, depression, and quality of life in 35 young adults with postural kyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back). Participants were split into two groups: one did exercises only, the other added motor imagery. The goal was to see if imagining the correct posture could help the body adopt it.
