结局指标
主要结局
Thoracic Range of Motion (ROM)
时间窗: 3 weeks
Thoracic Range of Motion (ROM) will be quantified using an inclinometer. A higher score signifies greater mobility of thoracic spine.
Upper Back Pain or Discomfort
时间窗: 3 weeks
Upper Back Pain or Discomfort will be quantified using Visual Analogue Scale. A higher score signifies greater pain or discomfort on a 0-100mm line.
Thoracic Kyphosis
时间窗: 3 weeks
Thoracic Kyphosis will be quantified using an inclinometer. A higher score signifies increased Kyphosis.
Functional ability
时间窗: 3 weeks
Functional ability will be quantified using Spine Functional Index (SFA). A smaller SFA score indicates greater functional ability.
Forward Head Posture
时间窗: 3 weeks
Forward Head Posture will be quantified via Craniovertebral Angle (CVA). A smaller CVA indicates increased forward head posture.
