Summary

This study was planned to investigate the effect of holistic approach corrective exercise program on the degree of kyphosis, balance and quality of life in kyphotic adolescents. A holistic approach corrective exercise program including corrective exercises and postural perception training was applied to one group. Thoracic region focused exercise program was applied to the other group. The programs of the exercise groups were applied three days a week, for 12 weeks. The kyphosis angle of all individuals participating in the study was evaluated using the flexible ruler, the Romberg index measured with balance pedobarography, and the quality of life using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire (SRS-22). In our study, a decrease in the degree of kyphosis was detected in the holistic approach corrective exercise and thoracic region-focused exercise group after 12 weeks of exercise training (p\<0.001), while no change was observed in the control group (p\>0.05). Balance improved after exercise training in the holistic corrective exercise group (p=0.006). The quality of life increased in the holistic approach corrective exercise and thoracic region focused exercise groups after the training (p\<0.001). The use of postural perception training together with corrective exercise programs in applications for thoracic kyphosis reveals a holistic approach and may increase the effect of the intervention.
