Study of Hyperkyphosis, Exercise and Function-SHEAF

Investigator developed the intervention protocol (Kyphosis-specific spinal strengthening exercises) of targeted spine exercises during our pilot study based upon the literature and clinical experience.We standardized the protocol with a written script and a video. Each exercise session will be preceded by light aerobic activity, ended with cool-down and stretching the neck, chest and all extremities. All participants will be carefully monitored to ensure that all exercises will be performed slowly, with correct body alignment and technique to minimize risk of injury.
