U.S., July 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07047794) titled 'Scapula Position and Range of Motion, Strength and Performance in Thoracic Hyperkyphosis' on June 23.
Brief Summary: In the sagittal plane, the average kyphosis angle between the superior endplate of the T1 vertebra and the inferior endplate of the T12 vertebra is approximately 40 degrees. A thoracic spine angle greater than 45 degrees is defined as hyperkyphosis. The most common types of hyperkyphosis observed in juveniles and adolescents are Scheuermann's kyphosis, postural hyperkyphosis, and congenital hyperkyphosis.
Postural hyperkyphosis is the most prevalent form among these types. It results from the weakness of the muscles r...
