NCT07441213
Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a common spinal deformity that may alter the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of trunk muscles. This comparative study aims to investigate differences in the mechanical properties of selected back and chest muscles between individuals with hyperkyphosis and healthy controls. A total of 88 participants will be categorized based on thoracic kyphosis angle (≥50° hyperkyphosis; \<50° control). The kyphosis angle will be measured using a flexible ruler method. Muscle tone, stiffness, elasticity, and relaxation properties of the trapezius, erector spinae, and pectoralis major muscles will be assessed using a handheld myotonometer. Spinal appearance perception will be evaluated using a kyphosis-specific questionnaire. The study is designed to examine whether differences exist in muscle mechanical properties and whether kyphosis severity is associated with asymmetry in viscoelastic muscle characteristics.
NCT07308509
Age, body mass index, and modern technological influences predisposed to high prevalence of postural deviations such as forward head posture and thoracic hyperkyphosis, and rounded shoulders among school-aged children. The comprehensive integration of developmental and biomechanical perspectives on these adaptations is limited Upper-body postural adaptations reflect a complex interplay between developmental growth and biomechanical loading. Regular posture assessment in schools and clinical settings is crucial for early detection and culturally tailored prevention. Future longitudinal and cross-cultural studies are essential to establish normative postural values and clarify causal pathways across populations
NCT05763901
While various complex pathologies of the developmental age, such as Infantile Cerebral Palsy or Neuromuscular Diseases, are notoriously considered causes of alteration of locomotor development, it is scarcely known whether conditions much more frequent in the pediatric population, the so-called "Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms", may be associated with more or less noticeable changes in locomotor development. On a few studies, flat feet and hyperlaxity has been correlated with a motor control delay or poorer motor performance, based on complex clinical tests or on stereophotogrammetry movement analysis. Although promising, these preliminary studies, in addition to not providing information on the possible influence of other paramorphisms, such as varus and valgus of the knees, do not provide conclusive indications. The aim of this study is to investigate, through clinical tests and wearable inertial units, the motor control of a pediatric population affected by Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms and to compare them with a population of healthy controls, matched by age, taken from the recently developed control data set from Bisi and Stagni.
NCT07068360
Postural hyperkyphosis is common in postmenopausal women and leads to spinal dysfunction, pain, impaired balance, and increased fall risk. This study aims to develop and validate a multimodal physiotherapy framework to prevent and manage hyperkyphosis in this population. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Allied Hospital with 72 postmenopausal women aged 40-75 years, divided into intervention (multimodal physiotherapy with conventional care) and control (conventional care only) groups.
NCT06988046
Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a common postural deformity; however, the optimal treatment strategy has yet to be clearly defined. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of an innovative three-dimensional printed Cover Spine Orthosis (CSO) in managing thoracic hyperkyphosis. Specifically, the study compared the effects of the CSO on kyphosis angle, quality of life (QoL), and user satisfaction with those of a semi-rigid thoracolumbar orthosis (SRTLO) that has established efficacy in the literature.
NCT06760598
To determine the impact of thoracic hyperkyphosis, sarcopenia and quadriceps muscle thickness evaluated by ultrasonography (USG) on balance, fall risk and functional parameters in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, to assess their interrelationships and to compare the clinical characteristics of sarcopenia and thoracic hyperkyphosis.
NCT06730269
This study evaluates the effectiveness of face-to-face versus telerehabilitation programs for children aged 9-12 with thoracic hyperkyphosis, a condition caused by poor posture that leads to excessive forward curvature of the spine. Twenty children participated in a six-week corrective exercise program, either in person or through an online platform. Both approaches significantly improved spinal posture, back muscle strength, and pain levels, with no notable differences in outcomes between the two methods. The findings suggest that telerehabilitation is as effective as face-to-face rehabilitation, offering a flexible option for managing thoracic hyperkyphosis in children.
NCT04924556
This study aimed to investigate the effect of rıgıd brace treatment on spinopelvic parameters and GAP score in patients with adolescent hyperkyphosis. This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Thirty-two patients who were diagnosed with structural hyperkyphosis and treated with CAD-CAM design rigid brace were included in the study in Formed Healthcare Scoliosis Treatment and Brace Center between December 2015-2020.
