ABSTRACT
Background And Objective: Correctiveexerciseinterventionsareoften utilized tomanagesubjectswith
thoracichyper-kyphosis, yet thequalityof evidencethat supportstheir efficiencyislacking. In thisstudy, the
efficacyof local and comprehensivecorrectiveexerciseprograms(LCEPand CCEP) on kyphosisanglewas
evaluated.
Material And Method: A prospective, randomised controlled design wasused in thepresent study. Sixty
patientswith postural hyper-kyphosisdeformity( 42°) entered thestudyfor 12 weeks. Subjectswere⩾
randomlyassigned toaLCEP(n=20), CCEP(n=20), or Control groups(n=20). Pre- and post-participation
levelsof kyphosisangleweremeasured byflexicurveruler.
Results: Both theLCEPand CCEPgroupsdemonstrated statisticallysignificant reductionsin thoracic
kyphosisanglecompared tothecontrol group(p=0.001). Furthermore, based on Cohen'sd-value, the
efficiencyof CCEPwaslarger than LCEP.
Conclusions: Consideringtheextremelylargeeffect sizeof theCCEP, werecommend that thisprogram be
used in thecorrection of postural hyper-kyphosisdeformityin future.

Exercise Interventions:
Both theLCEPand CCEPgroupsweregiven exercisesto perform threetimesper week for 12 weeks
under thedirect supervision of theexaminers.
Local CorrectiveExerciseProgram(LCEP):
TheLCEPgroup received exercisesbased on Kendall’stheory that had been included repeatedly in
previousstudies. They aimed to stretch thepectoral musclesand strengthen thethoracic extensor
musclesthrough theuseof stretching, self-mobilization, and strengthening, with an emphasison
endurance. In each session theparticipantswarmed up with light aerobic activity for 5 minutes, then
performed two stretching(exercises1 and 2), oneself-mobilization (exercise3), and two strengthening
exercises(exercises4 and 5) sequentially, then cooled down with general stretchingexercisesand slow
walkingfor 5 minutes. Thefoam rollersused in stretching exercise2 weregradually increased in
diameter from 15 cm to 20 cm and then to 25 cm to increasethestretch.

Abstract. Objective: Altered postural presentations have been associated with a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Therapeutic
exercise interventions are often utilized to manage patients with increased thoracic kyphosis or “round shoulders,” yet few
controlled studies have evaluated their efficacy.
Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled design was used to evaluate the influence of a home-based exercise regimen
on these postural variances. Seventy-one patients with real or perceived concerns about their thoracic posture completed the
13-week study. Patients with 23–80◦
of thoracic kyphosis entered the study. Pre- and post-intervention flexicurve measurements
of thoracic kyphosis were made. Patients were randomly assigned to an exercise (n = 32) or control group (n = 39). A mixed
design ANOVA tested main effects and interactions.
Results: A statistically significant (p < 0.05) interaction was found between group assignment and delta kyphosis values. Post-
hoc analysis of the multiple comparisons produced a marginal p-value (p = 0.0557). Mean delta kyphosis values were (+ ) 0.5◦
(± 7.0◦
) for the control group and (− ) 3.0◦
(± 6.1◦
) for the experimental group.
Conclusions: This 13-week home exercise program targeting modification of thoracic kyphosis angles had a statistically significant
impact. However, post-hoc statistical analyses and clinical implications are marginal.

1. Introduction
1.1. Influence of exercise on posture
The normal range of thoracic kyphosis is 20–45 ◦
[6,
13–15,20–22]. Excessive kyphosis (> 45◦
) is an eti-
ological factor of, or significant impairment in, up-
per quarter pathologies ranging from shoulder pain to
spinal compression fractures [3,9,12,17,20,26]. Phys-
ical therapists routinely use therapeutic exercises to
manage patients with hyper-kyphosis. However, the
quality of evidence that supports effective therapeutic
exercise interventions for this postural abnormality is
lacking. In 2001, Hrysomallis and Goodman [10] pub-

lished a literature review which evaluated the effect of
exercise for the correction of postural abnormalities.
The authors concluded that, “Based on the existing lit-
erature, it is inadvisable to strongly promote strength-
ening exercises to correct postural malalignments, such
as abducted scapulae, excessive lumbar lordosis, scol-
iosis, or kyphosis.” (p. 389). Poor methodology and/or
the absence of a control group confounded the results
of many of the studies they reviewed [10].
Itoi and Sinaki [11] evaluated the effect of a prone-
lying spinal extension exercise on kyphosis angles and
thoracic spinal extensor strength. The study was con-
ducted over a two-year period of time on 60 patients
with estrogen deficiency. The patients were 49–65
years old (mean = 59). Their range of kyphosis an-
gles was 9.5–69.5◦
(mean = 34.1◦
). The experimen-
tal group (n = 32) showed no statistically significant
improvement in the kyphosis angle, as compared to the
control group (n = 28). This was in spite of the fact

3. had a ScoliometerT M
reading of greater than five
degrees at the point of peak axial rotation on the
forward bending test.
4. had a structural kyphosis, confirmed by radio-
graphs.
2.4. Screening of participants
Following random assignment, patients were further
screened by the lead investigator forlimitations in range
of motion that would interfere with their ability to per-
form the exercises. Patients were also screened for ex-
cessive axial trunk rotation, using the ScoliometerT M
.
Amendt et al. [1] established the utility of this instru-
ment for scoliosis screening. Since the exercises uti-
lized in the present study were not designed to influence
tri-planar thoracic curvatures, patients with potentially
significant scoliosis were excluded from the study.
2.5. Kyphosis measurements
The flexicurve is a malleable, metal ruler covered
with plastic that can be bent only in a single plane.
Once bent, it retains its shape to conformto the patient’s
spine. Three consecutive thoracic kyphosis angle mea-
sures were made. The mean of these measurements
served as the pre-participation kyphosis angle. Every
kyphosis angle measurement followed the same proto-
col. The lead author first identified, through palpation,
the spinous processes of T1 and T12 and marked them
with a skin marker. The patient was asked to inhale
and exhale without forcing out the breath. The flex-
icurve was carefully conformed to the thoracic spine
(Fig. 1). The researcher noted the span of the curve
using the flexicurve’s ruler. This process was repeated
three times. The lead author calculated the kyphosis
angle from the three tracings. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate
the method described by Hart and Rose [8], as well
as the trigonometric calculation, used to determine the
kyphosis angle in the current study.
2.6. Exercise protocol and instruction
A literature review produced few articles where exer-
cises were prescribed specifically to influence postural
changes in the adult thoracic spine. The seven exercis-
es prescribed in the current study were a combination
of strengthening, stretching, and self-mobilization ac-
tivities (Appendix 1). The exercises targeting Erector
Spinae strength were selected on the basis of evidence
provided by Moffroid et al. [18]. The cervical retrac-

tion exercise was recommended by McKenzie [16] and
Moore [19] for its postural realignment value. The in-
terscapular muscle strengthening and pectoral stretch-
ing exercises were validated by Wang et al. [28] as a
way to improveupper trunk posture and scapular stabil-
ity. These authors reported a reduction of thoracic “an-
terior inclination” as a result of their six-week exercise
program.
The exercises in this study were carefully dosed by
a research assistant. This licensed physical therapist
has more than 20 years of clinical practice in primarily
outpatient orthopedic settings. Her primary intent in
teaching the exercises was accurate performance with-
out discomfort.
The research assistant contacted the patients within
24 hours of his/her initial data collection session. The
assistant determined the patient’s group assignment by
inquiring as to the number the patient rolled on the die.
Patients assigned to the control group were told that
they would be contacted in three months for a follow-
up data collection session. No further contact with
this group occurred until the follow-up appointment
was established. Patients assigned to the experimental
group were given an appointment with the research
assistant in order to learn the exercises.
All seven exercises were prescribed with appropri-
ate progressions defined for repetitions, resistance (in
the case of the TherabandT M
(Hygenic Corporation,
Akron OH) exercises), and hold times over the course
of the 13-week training program. Two levels of band
resistance were given to the patient at the training ses-
sion; one appropriate to the patient’s abilities at the
initial session and a second band one resistance grade
higher. Detailed written and pictorial descriptions (Ap-

They aimed to stretch thepectoral musclesand strengthen thethoracic extensor musclesthrough theuseof stretching, self-mobilization, and strengthening, with an emphasison endurance. In each session theparticipantswarmed up with light aerobic activity for 5 minutes, then performed two stretching(exercises1 and 2), oneself-mobilization (exercise3), and two strengthening exercises(exercises4 and 5) sequentially, then cooled down with general stretchingexercisesand slow walkingfor 5 minutes.

Vaughna,∗ and Eugene W. Brownb a Physical Therapy Program, Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids, MI, USA b Department of Kinesiology, Michigan State University, 204 Intramural Sports Circle, East Lansing, MI, USA Abstract. Objective: Altered postural presentations have been associated with a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Therapeutic exercise interventions are often utilized to manage patients with increased thoracic kyphosis or “round shoulders,” yet few controlled studies have evaluated their efficacy. Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled design was used to evaluate the influence of a home-based exercise regimen on these postural variances. Seventy-one patients with real or perceived concerns about their thoracic posture completed the 13-week study. Patients with 23–80◦ of thoracic kyphosis entered the study. Pre- and post-intervention flexicurve measurements of thoracic kyphosis were made. Patients were randomly assigned to an exercise (n = 32) or control group (n = 39). A mixed design ANOVA tested main effects and interactions. Results: A statistically significant (p < 0.05) interaction was found between group assignment and delta kyphosis values. Post- hoc analysis of the multiple comparisons produced a marginal p-value (p = 0.0557). Mean delta kyphosis values were (+ ) 0.5◦ (± 7.0◦ ) for the control group and (− ) 3.0◦ (± 6.1◦ ) for the experimental group. Conclusions: This 13-week home exercise program targeting modification of thoracic kyphosis angles had a statistically significant impact. However, post-hoc statistical analyses and clinical implications are marginal. Keywords: Evidence-based practice, outcome measures, postural relationships 1. Introduction 1.1. Influence of exercise on posture The normal range of thoracic kyphosis is 20–45 ◦ [6, 13–15,20–22]. Excessive kyphosis (> 45◦ ) is an eti- ological factor of, or significant impairment in, up- per quarter pathologies ranging from shoulder pain to spinal compression fractures [3,9,12,17,20,26]. Phys- ical therapists routinely use therapeutic exercises to manage patients with hyper-kyphosis. However, the quality of evidence that supports effective therapeutic exercise interventions for this postural abnormality is lacking.

The authors concluded that, “Based on the existing lit- erature, it is inadvisable to strongly promote strength- ening exercises to correct postural malalignments, such as abducted scapulae, excessive lumbar lordosis, scol- iosis, or kyphosis.” (p. 389). Poor methodology and/or the absence of a control group confounded the results of many of the studies they reviewed [10]. Itoi and Sinaki [11] evaluated the effect of a prone- lying spinal extension exercise on kyphosis angles and thoracic spinal extensor strength. The study was con- ducted over a two-year period of time on 60 patients with estrogen deficiency. The patients were 49–65 years old (mean = 59). Their range of kyphosis an- gles was 9.5–69.5◦ (mean = 34.1◦ ). The experimen- tal group (n = 32) showed no statistically significant improvement in the kyphosis angle, as compared to the control group (n = 28).

Screening of participants Following random assignment, patients were further screened by the lead investigator forlimitations in range of motion that would interfere with their ability to per- form the exercises. Patients were also screened for ex- cessive axial trunk rotation, using the ScoliometerT M . Amendt et al. [1] established the utility of this instru- ment for scoliosis screening. Since the exercises uti- lized in the present study were not designed to influence tri-planar thoracic curvatures, patients with potentially significant scoliosis were excluded from the study. 2.5. Kyphosis measurements The flexicurve is a malleable, metal ruler covered with plastic that can be bent only in a single plane. Once bent, it retains its shape to conformto the patient’s spine. Three consecutive thoracic kyphosis angle mea- sures were made. The mean of these measurements served as the pre-participation kyphosis angle. Every kyphosis angle measurement followed the same proto- col. The lead author first identified, through palpation, the spinous processes of T1 and T12 and marked them with a skin marker. The patient was asked to inhale and exhale without forcing out the breath. The flex- icurve was carefully conformed to the thoracic spine (Fig. 1). The researcher noted the span of the curve using the flexicurve’s ruler. This process was repeated three times. The lead author calculated the kyphosis angle from the three tracings. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the method described by Hart and Rose [8], as well as the trigonometric calculation, used to determine the kyphosis angle in the current study. 2.6. Exercise protocol and instruction A literature review produced few articles where exer- cises were prescribed specifically to influence postural changes in the adult thoracic spine. The seven exercis- es prescribed in the current study were a combination of strengthening, stretching, and self-mobilization ac- tivities (Appendix 1). The exercises targeting Erector Spinae strength were selected on the basis of evidence provided by Moffroid et al. [18]. The cervical retrac- Fig. 1. Application of the flexicurve to the patient’s back for kyphosis measurement. tion exercise was recommended by McKenzie [16] and Moore [19] for its postural realignment value. The in- terscapular muscle strengthening and pectoral stretch- ing exercises were validated by Wang et al. [28] as a way to improveupper trunk posture and scapular stabil- ity. These authors reported a reduction of thoracic “an- terior inclination” as a result of their six-week exercise program. The exercises in this study were carefully dosed by a research assistant. This licensed physical therapist has more than 20 years of clinical practice in primarily outpatient orthopedic settings. Her primary intent in teaching the exercises was accurate performance with- out discomfort. The research assistant contacted the patients within 24 hours of his/her initial data collection session. The assistant determined the patient’s group assignment by inquiring as to the number the patient rolled on the die. Patients assigned to the control group were told that they would be contacted in three months for a follow- up data collection session. No further contact with this group occurred until the follow-up appointment was established. Patients assigned to the experimental group were given an appointment with the research assistant in order to learn the exercises. All seven exercises were prescribed with appropri- ate progressions defined for repetitions, resistance (in the case of the TherabandT M (Hygenic Corporation, Akron OH) exercises), and hold times over the course of the 13-week training program. Two levels of band resistance were given to the patient at the training ses- sion; one appropriate to the patient’s abilities at the initial session and a second band one resistance grade higher.
