Brief Summary

Corrective and resistance exercises are beneficial interventions for improving thoracic Cobb’s angle, cervical muscle strength and muscle endurance, and the CSA of the cervical deep muscles compared to simple physical therapy. This study revealed that a corrective exercise program is a more effective intervention than traditional resistance exercise for improving these parameters. Therefore, exercise types should be considered when exercise prescription is set up for patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
