Summary

This study looked at whether adding motor imagery training (mentally practicing movements) to standard exercises can help young adults with postural kyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back). 35 participants were split into two groups: one did only exercises, the other did exercises plus motor imagery, all via tele-rehabilitation. Researchers measured changes in spine curvature, pain, depression, and quality of life to see if the mental practice made a difference.
