The primary aim of our research is to evaluate the positive effects of exercise and kinesiotaping on the thoracic kyphosis angle in young adults between the ages of 18-45 with a thoracic kyphosis angle of 40 degrees and above. Secondary aims are to investigate the effects of kinesiotaping on dynamic and static balance, pain, and quality of life in patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
Being between the ages of 18-45
Among the patients who applied to the physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic with poor posture or nonspecific back pain, the kyphosis angle was measured as ≥ 40 on the thoracic lateral radiograph
