Study Summary

This trial aims to see if stretching exercises can help improve kyphosis in people with postural kyphosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for young individuals aged 8-21 with a significant curve in their upper back, known as kyphosis. It's specifically for those with more than 45 degrees of curvature or excessive bending at the junction between the mid and lower back. Parents who can complete surveys will also participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if stretching exercises can help correct the spine's curvature in patients with postural or Scheuermann's kyphosis. The goal is to see if these non-invasive exercises are an effective treatment option.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical exercises, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and discomfort during or after performing the stretches.
