Abstract

Purpose:
Hyperkyphosis is one of the most common postural abnormalities. In this anomaly, the anterior chest muscles such as pectoralis minor and major muscles tend to be tight (overactive) and the posterior muscles of this area such as spinal extensors tend to be weak (underactive) which may lead to muscle imbalance in the upper trunk. One way to correct this anomaly is to use sports protocols, which have a special place in correcting this anomaly. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to review the Corrective Exercise Protocols in People with Hyperkyphosis Disorders.
Methods:
Internal and external search engines include Scopus, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, Pubmed, ISC, SID, Magiran, Irandoc, Doaj with a time limit of 2013 to 2020 and the keywords of Round Back, Hyperkyphosis, Corrective Exercises, Protocol. The present study is a systematic review method (PRISMA).
Results:
A total of 10 articles were selected based on the criteria. These studies mainly examined the effect of corrective exercise protocols on kyphosis angle, forward head angle, balance, physical function, sacral angle, incline angle, abnormality, well-being and flexibility in people with hyperkyphosis abnormalities.
Conclusion:
Studies that include the patterns of movement and function that people use in their daily activities seem to be more effective in correcting physical disorder.
