Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a customized corrective exercise program on back pain, kyphosis degree, and quality of life in healthy adults. Our hypothesis is that healthy adults participating in a customized exercise program will show a reduction in back pain, a decrease in thoracic kyphosis angle, and an improvement in quality of life in the post-intervention period compared to the control group. The program will continue twice a week for four weeks.

Conditions

Posture

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• kyphosis index

  The terapist recorded the measurement between c7-T12 with flexiruler

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

• Pain assessment

  Mc Gill pain Assesment

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

• scapular Protraction

  The inferior angle of the scapula was identified by palpation and marked. The horizontal distance between the marked inferior angles of the scapulae was measured using a flexible measuring tape and recorded in centimeters (cm).

  from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

• Cervical posture

  Anterior neck tilt is recorded.

  0 and 4th week

Secondary Outcomes (2)
