Kyphosis can lead to back pain, poor posture, and increased falls risk. This systematic review aimed to synthesize research on stretching alone, or in combination with strengthening, as a management for hyperkyphosis in the adult population (≥18 years old). An electronic database search was conducted from February to March 2022. The author and an independent reviewer screened titles and abstracts for inclusion criteria -those whose intervention involved stretching alone or with strengthening exercises. The author appraised and extracted data from included articles and performed a meta-analysis where appropriate. The database and citation search yielded 327 articles, 18 of which met inclusion criteria. One study included performed stretching as a standalone intervention; the remainder used a combination of stretching and strengthening. The meta-analysis (n=3, with 5 exercise groups) found a statistically significant difference (MD = -6.97 (95% CI -9.84, -4.10), p<0.00001) in post-intervention measures of hyperkyphosis favouring the exercise group. The narrative review of studies agrees with this finding, demonstrating statistically significant improvement in hyperkyphosis following various exercise programs. This review suggests that stretching and strengthening exercises improve hyperkyphosis in the short and long term. Low-quality evidence supports stretching as a standalone intervention. Further, more robust research is required to recommend procedures and determine if stretching alone is effective for treating hyperkyphosis in adults.

grubuna ayrıldı. 8 hafta boyunca egzersiz grubuna (30-40 dk/gün/hafta) spinal ekstansörleri ve skapula kaslarını kuvvetlendirme, skapula stabilizasyonu, pektoral germe içeren postür egzersiz eğitimi verildi. Ortez grubu 8 hafta boyunca omuz retraksiyon ortezini (8 saat/gün/hafta) kullandı. Kifoz, esnek cetvel ölçüm yöntemiyle elde edilen kifoz indeksi ile değerlendirildi. Anterior servikal tilti değerlendirmek için tragus-duvar mesafesi, skapula protraksiyonu değerlendirmek için iki skapulanın inferior ucu arasındaki mesafe ölçüldü. Bulgular: Gruplar kendi içerisinde eğitim öncesi ve sonrası verileri karşılaştırıldığında kifoz indeksi, servikal tilt ve skapula protraksiyonunda iyileşme (p<0,05) gösterdi. Gruplar eğitim öncesi ve sonrası birbiriyle karşılaştırıldığında değerlendirilen parametreler açısından fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Postür egzersiz eğitimi ve omuz retraksiyon ortezi adölesan kızlarda postüral kifozun azaltılmasında etkilidir. Her iki yöntemin kombine kullanıldığı, uzun dönemli takiplerin yapıldığı randomize kontrollü çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Anahtar kelimeler; Adölesan, Postür, Kifoz, Egzersiz, Ortez. Effects of shoulder retraction orthosis and posture exercises on kyphosis, cervical tilt, and scapular protraction in adolescent girls with kyphotic posture Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of posture exercise training and shoulder retraction orthosis on kyphosis, cervical tilt and scapular protraction in adolescent girls with kyphotic posture. Methods: Thirty adolescent girls with postural kyphosis participated in the study. The participants were randomly divided into exercise (n=15, mean age: 13.73±0.46 years, BMI: 20.61±1.98 kg/m 2 ) and orthosis (n=15, mean age: 13.73±0.46 years, BMI: 20.19±1.72 kg/m 2 ) groups. The exercise group performed posture exercise training (30-40 min/day/week) for 8 weeks that included spinal extensor and scapular strengthening, scapular stabilization, and stretching of the pectoralis muscles. The orthosis group used shoulder retraction orthosis (8 hours/day/week) for 8 weeks. Kyphosis was assessed with the kyphosis index obtained by the flex ruler measurement method. Anterior cervical tilt was evaluated with tragus wall distance, and shoulders protraction was assessed with the distance between the inferior of the two scapulae. Results: The pre and post-test comparison in the groups showed improvements in kyphosis index, cervical tilt and scapula protraction (p<0.05). The comparison of pre and post-test values between group, no differences were found in all parameters (p>0.05). Conclusion: Exercise training and shoulder retraction orthosis are affective methods in reducing postural kyphosis in adolescent girls. There is a need for randomized controlled studies which both methods are used in combination and with long-term followup.
