Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. People with postural hyperkyphosis which had usual TKA of 40 degrees or greater and ability to straighten up the trunk to decrease their usual TKA by 5 degrees or more while standing, as measured by a flexible ruler.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. People with structural hyperkyphosis which had a usual TKA of 40 degrees or greater and inability to decrease their usual TKA by 5 degrees or inability to straighten their trunk while standing. 2.
