Brief Summary

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesio taping and sham taping in addition to self-stretching exercise on hyperkyphosis angle, neck pain and quality of life in elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis. Method: 60 elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis aged 60-85 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided inti three groups. Kinesio taping, sham taping and self-stretching exercise. The kinesio taping group will be given kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The second sham taping group will be given sham kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The third self-stretching group will be given a program consisting of stretching exercises for pectoral, erector spinae, latismus dorsi, multifidus, rhomboid and trapezius muscles. Individuals will be asked to do these exercises on their own for 15-20 minutes at home or in the office every day for four weeks. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for the kyphosis angle will be evaluated with a flexible ruler and Scoliosis Research Society Outcome questionnaire (SRS22) will be used to evaluate spinal curvatures.The Neck Disability Questionnaire will be used to evaluate neck pain. The occiput-neck distance and mini mental test will be used in this srudy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the kyphosis angle to be evaluated by a flexible ruler

  C7 and T12 vertebrae will be taken as reference in the measurement of the kyphosis angle. The Q angle is calculated by measuring the distances between the points taken as criteria.

  Baseline and at the end of 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Chane in the spinal curvature to be evaluated by Scoliosis Research Society Outcome Questionnaire (SRS22)

  Baseline and at the end of 4 weeks

Other Outcomes (3)

• Change in the level of neck pain and neck dysfunction to be evaluated by Neck Disability Questionnaire

  Baseline and at the end of 4 weeks

• Change in the level of neck disability to be evaluated by Occiput-Wall Distance test

  Baseline and at the end of 4 weeks

• Cognitive level of the subjects to be evaluated by Standardized Mini Mental Test
