Age-related hyperkyphosis causes deleterious effects on health, physical function, and quality of life. Recently, health care providers recognized it as a major health concern.
To identify the effect of corrective exercise strategy on hyperkyphosis and compare it with that of conventional exercise.
Subjects were randomly categorized into two groups. Each group comprised 30 subjects. Group A received the corrective exercise strategy, and group B received conventional exercises for 8 weeks of the study duration (15 repetitions of each exercise for three sessions/day for a total duration of 45 min and 4 days/week. Pre- and post-interventional hyperkyphosis were analyzed according to posture number using the Posture Pro 8 postural analysis software. In addition, pectoralis minor flexibility was assessed using the ruler scale method in centimeters.
Both groups showed highly significant postural alteration and changes in pectoralis minor muscle length (p< 0.001)CONCLUSIONS:The corrective exercise strategy seems to promote scapular stability and produce a more upright posture of the upper thoracic spine.
年龄相关性脊柱后凸对健康、身体功能和生活质量产生有害影响。最近，医疗保健提供者将其视为一个主要的健康问题。
确定矫正运动策略对脊柱后凸的影响，并将其与传统运动的影响进行比较。
将受试者随机分为两组。每组包括30名受试者。在为期8周的研究期间，A组采用矫正运动策略，B组进行传统运动（每项运动重复15次，每天进行3组，总时长45分钟，每周4天）。使用Posture Pro 8姿势分析软件根据姿势编号分析干预前后的脊柱后凸情况。此外，使用直尺测量法以厘米为单位评估胸小肌柔韧性。
两组均显示出高度显著的姿势改变和胸小肌长度变化（p<0.001）。
矫正运动策略似乎能促进肩胛骨稳定性，并使上胸椎呈现更挺直的姿势。
