About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises and thoracic stabilization exercises on thoracic erector spinae muscle strength, thoracic kyphosis angle, pain and trunk stabilization in individuals with thoracic kyphosis. Thirty participants aged 18-40 years with thoracic kyphosis will be randomly allocated to a DNS exercise group or a thoracic stabilization exercise group. Surface EMG biofeedback will be used to assess thoracic erector spinae muscle activation, while pain, thoracic kyphosis angle and trunk endurance will be evaluated using validated clinical tests. The interventions will be applied for 6 weeks, and outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention period.
