Brief summary
The study was conducted to compare the effective of thoracic extension exercises and global postural corrective exercises on pain, range of motion and posture among hyperkyphotic individuals.
Interventions
The TEE comprised of three exercise programs as follows: TEE Ⅰ: The therapist had located the restricted thoracic spinal segment on a foam roller, and the patient lied on it with their knees flexed. Both hands was crossed on the chest, and the buttocks be lifted slightly from the floor. The foam roller was rolled slowly up and down the thoracic spinal segment. TEE Ⅱ: Patient was be sitting with the knees flexed; a Swiss ball was placed in front. The ball was pushed forward to a distance with both hands on it. TEE Ⅲ: In the prone position, patient had performed the lifting up and putting down of the upper body and repeat it with the support of both elbows. Each exercise was performed with two sets of 15 reps, 10 sec per rep.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Inclinometer | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | An inclinometer was used to measure the range of motion at the spine. Instead of using a goniometer, we used this gadget on the spine. |
| Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | The NPRS used to gauge the patient's degree of pain. On a 0-10 scale, where 0 represents no pain, 1-3 represents mild pain, 4-6 represents moderate pain, and 7-10 represents severe pain, this tool is frequently used to gauge intensity of pain. Patients rate how much pain they are currently experiencing as well as how much pain they have experienced in the past 24 hours. |
| Kyphosis Specific Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (K-SAQ) | From enrollment till the end of treatment at 6 weeks | A modified SAQ was used to create the K-SAQ, which measures characteristics of appearance unique to kyphosis. Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.84) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.91) were demonstrated by the K-SAQ total averages. |
| Cobb meter | From enrollment till the end of treatment at 6 weeks | Excellent correlation was found between the CobbMeter application and the usual approach using the protractor, as evidenced by the intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.963 for all measures. |
