Thoracic hyperkyphosis is associated with postural abnormality, physical function, and quality of life. This study aimed to examine the effects of a combined exercise program on the spinal curvature and balance ability in adolescents with kyphosis. Fifty-one adolescents (mean age 21.95 ± 3.90 year, 23 male and 28 female) diagnosed with kyphosis were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 25) and a control group (n = 26). All participants in the study group underwent a combined exercise program for 60 min, three times per week, for 12 weeks. Cobb’s angle and forward head angle showed significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.001). The anterior and posterior weight distributions of static and dynamic plantar foot pressures showed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001), and significant differences were observed only in the study group (p < 0.001). However, the left and right static plantar foot pressures did not differ significantly. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that a combined exercise program is an effective intervention for the improvement of alignment in the spinal curve and balance in adolescents with postural kyphosis.
胸椎后凸与姿势异常、身体功能及生活质量相关。本研究旨在探讨综合运动方案对青少年脊柱后凸患者脊柱曲度及平衡能力的影响。51例被诊断为脊柱后凸的青少年（平均年龄21.95±3.90岁，男性23例，女性28例）被随机分为两组：实验组（n = 25）和对照组（n = 26）。研究组所有参与者接受为期12周、每周3次、每次60分钟的综合运动方案。两组之间的Cobb角和头部前伸角度存在显著差异（p < 0.001）。静态和动态足底压力的前后重量分布在两组之间存在显著差异（p < 0.001），且仅在研究组观察到显著差异（p < 0.001）。然而，左右静态足底压力无显著差异。总之，这些结果表明，综合运动方案是改善姿势性脊柱后凸青少年脊柱曲度和平衡的有效干预措施。
