U.S., April 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06907914) titled 'Schroth and Scapular Muscle Activation in Hyperkyphosis' on March 26.
Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of Schroth exercises on scapular muscle activation in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis. A total of 56 participants will be randomly assigned to either the Schroth exercise group or the control group receiving postural education. The intervention group will complete an 8-week supervised Schroth program focusing on three-dimensional correction, rotational breathing, and postural awareness. Primary outcome is scapular muscle activation measured by surface EMG. Secondary outcomes inclu...
