First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested whether a web-based telerehabilitation program could help young adults with postural problems like forward head posture, lordosis, and kyphosis. Forty university students were split into two groups: one did home exercises on their own, and the other followed a guided online program. Both groups exercised three times a week for six weeks. Researchers measured changes in spine angles using a smartphone app, along with muscle tightness and endurance.
