Overview
Brief Summary
Group A will be given Klapp method exercises to the participant for a period of 1 month twice in a week for 50min. Group B will be given printed information on an at-home exercise program, such, posture correction,corrective exercises and breathing exercises. They will be asked to perform the exercises twice weekly during the study and follow-up period. All these sessions will be of 50 minute for 2 session per week for 4 weeks
Detailed Description
The Klapp exercises program, is an active therapeutic exercise that aims to stretch, mobilize, and strengthen the spine, offering both pain reduction and postural improvement. This method is widely applied, for the correction of vertebral deformities such as kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis, to the treatment of thoracic cage abnormalities and thoracic cage shape changes after thoracoplasty, as well as in the treatment of spinal muscle interference from polio and spinal osteochondrosis.
The aim of this study to investigate the effects of klapp method exercises on pain, posture correction and self-efficacy in breast feeding females with kyphotic posture.
This will be a randomized Controlled trial conducted on (32) participants. Data will be collected from Civil hospital and Al-siddique hospital, Sialkot by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Breast feeding females between the age of 22 to 30 with kyphotic posture. Participants who had a history orthopedic disorder, orthopedic surgery, history of recent fracture, non-lactating females will be excluded from this study. A sample of (32) will be divided in to two groups with (16) participants in each group. Group A will be given Klapp method exercises to the participant for a period of 1 month twice in a week for 50min. Group B will be given printed information on an at-home exercise program, such, posture correction, corrective exercises and breathing exercises. They will be asked to perform the exercises twice weekly during the study and follow-up period. All these sessions will be of 50 minute for 2 session per week for 4 weeks. Pre and post assessment of pain, pain will be assessed by visual analogue scale, posture will be evaluated by inclinometer, self-efficacy breast feeding will be assessed self-efficacy breastfeeding scale (BSES-SF). Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 26.0

Arms & Interventions
Klapp method exercises
Four pointwalk followedby twopointwalk&backwalk: This exercise is basic, it is a mobility exercise and always applied at the beginning of the program. Breathing exercise from a kneeling position: (raising hands with inhalation lowering hands with exhalation). Simple bounce glide with simultaneous breathing: (a stretching,strengthening and corrective exercises) Bunny hop: (for stretching and strengthening). Greeting: (Stretching and mobilization of thalamus)
Intervention: Klapp method exercises (Other)
At-Home exercises program
The researcher will prescribe stretching of neck, upper limb and thoracic region of participants as a baseline treatment. The control group will continue with their normal activities and pain relief methods. Additionally, they will be given printed information on an at-home exercise program, such corrective exercises (Chin tuck, stretching of neck extensor muscles and pectoral muscle groups in standing and supine positions) (16), posture correction exercises (This exercise program consisted of 2 strengthening (of the deep cervical flexors and shoulder retractors), and breathing exercises (Deep breathing is an exercise that can regulate breathing patterns and improve posture. The deep breathing that is done repeatedly can overcome stiffness in the thoracic cage and straighten the curve of thoracic kyphosis).They will be asked to perform the period of 1-month twice in a week for 50 min with10 repetitions of each exercise

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 4th week
The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions. moderate to good reliability for disability in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain VAS is widely used as a measure of pain intensity in globally. It has been shown that VAS is valid, reliable and interval scale. The majority of the studies showed that visual analogue scale is a valid and reliable scale. . High reliability when it is used for acute musculoskeletal pain and ICC = 0.99 \[95%CI 0.989 to 0.992\], and moderate to good reliability for disability in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Also, it is an interval scale. So, in clinical practice we can use this scale in case of measurement as an outcome measure tool.
inclinometer
Time Frame: 4th week
The gravity-dependent (analogue) inclinometer produces angles that are comparable to the modified Cobb angle obtained from radiographs, establishing its criterion validity as a safe clinical tool for measuring thoracic kyphosis. Inclinometer has high validity with (r=0.85-0.95) and high inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.85-0.98)
Self-efficacy breast feeding scale (BSES-S F questionnaire)
Time Frame: 4th week
Breastfeeding self-efficacy is defined as a mother's confidence in ability to breastfeed and predicts "whether a mother chooses to breastfeed, how much effort she will expend, whether she will persevere in her attempts until mastery is achieved, whether she will have self enhancing or self-defeating thought patterns, and how she will emotionally respond to breastfeeding difficulties" BSES (n = 5 studies) or BSES-SF (n = 36studies) among demographically or culturally diverse populations. All versions of the instrument demonstrated good reliability, with Cronbach's alphas ranging from .72 to .97
