Brief Summary
The purpose of our study; is to investigate how balance parameters are affected in comparison with healthy children in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis and to examine the relationship of these results with muscle strength, shortness-flexibility, pain, range of motion, functional status, physical activity level and quality of life. The hypothesis of the study is that children with thoracic hyperkyphosis have impaired balance compared to their healthy peers. With this finding, it can be ensured that clinical evaluations and treatment strategies for balance in children with hyperkifosis are included in the treatment plan. 31 children with thoracic hyperkyphosis were included in the evaluation group, and 31 children with normal physiological curves were included in the control group. Participants were evaluated once by the physical therapist.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Biodex Balance System
Biodex Balance System is a valid instrument used to measure postural stability in static and dynamic conditions. The stability platform allows for varying levels of difficulty of stability testing from level 1 (stabil) to level 12 (least stable). A high score is indicative of a lot of movement and indicates poor balance. In present study was assessed average Overall, AP, and ML stability scores under the following 4 position: right-leg static balance, left-leg static balance, bilateral static balance and bilateral dynamic balance at BBS level 8 (moderately unstable). Each position was applied with eyes open and closed.
the cases were evaluated once.
Secondary Outcomes (10)
