Summary

This is a randomized, controlled trial among 100 total males and females with hyperkyphosis, aged 60 years and older, to determine the effects of an exercise intervention that includes high intensity spinal muscle strengthening exercises compared to a usual care waitlist group.

Conditions

  • Kyphosis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Kyphosis spinal strengthening exercises

Investigator developed the intervention protocol (Kyphosis spinal 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.
