“…There exist very few reports of prospective studies that evaluated the effects of specific exercises on spinal alignment (26)(27)(28)(29)56). In one study, it was found that spinal extension exercises could delay the progression of kyphosis angle (26).…”

Background/aim: To investigate the effects of an 8-week thoracic stabilization exercise program on back pain, spinal alignment, postural sway, and core endurance in university students.Materials and methods: University students were randomly allocated into exercise (n: 28) and control (n: 25) groups. The exercise program was carried out 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Postural pain, spinal alignment, postural sway, and core endurance were assessed via visual analogue scale, Spinal Mouse, Biodex Balance System, and McGill's trunk muscle endurance tests at the baseline and after 8 weeks of training.Results: Differences were observed for postural pain, thoracic and lumbar curvature, dynamic stability index (eyes closed), and core endurance scores in the exercise group between baseline and week 8 (P < 0.05) and all the parameters were significantly different when compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions:The program decreased postural pain, spinal curvatures, and postural sway, and increased core endurance in university students. The program can be effective in postural pain and misalignment of spine problems related to core weakness and balance disorders.

“…There is growing evidence that hyperkyphotic posture is associated with balance impairment and other adverse outcomes [31][32][33][34]. There is some weak evidence that exercise can improve posture in individuals with osteoporosis or hyperkyphosis [43,[46][47][48][49][50][51]. Exercise to increase strength in functional movements, such as stair climbing and squats or sit-to-stand, are also suggested.…”

“…Other causes of age-related hyperkyphosis are modifiable with appropriate interventions. Postural training for hyperkyphotic women using exercises and education has been shown to reduce kyphosis [7,16] and improve balance [7,17,18] and back extensor muscle strength [7,16]. These outcomes are particularly important for people at risk of fallrelated and vertebral osteoporotic fractures.…”

Introduction. This study determined the agreement between measures of standing posture in individuals at risk of osteoporotic fracture obtained using the IONmed mobile phone application and a digital inclinometer. Methods. One experienced rater assessed 20 adults, aged 55-88 years, attending an outpatient osteoporosis clinic. A standardized protocol was duplicated to acquire a single measure of spine curvature (lumbosacral angle, lordosis, kyphosis) using the IONmed mobile phone application and a digital inclinometer. Interdevice agreement was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and standard error of the measurement (SEM) with 95% CI and Bland-Altman plots. Results. ICC (95% CI) for lumbosacral angle, lordosis, and kyphosis is 0.97 (0.92, 0.99), 0.97 (0.92, 0.99), and 0.99 (0.98, 1.0), respectively. SEM (95% CI) for lumbosacral angle, lordosis, and kyphosis is 0.99 ∘ (0.75, 1.44), 1.33 ∘ (1.01, 1.94), and 1.23 ∘ (0.94, 1.80), respectively. Measurement bias is small. Conclusions. In our sample, the IONmed mobile phone application provides measures highly consistent with the digital inclinometer measures of standing posture. This method offers clinicians a quick, convenient way of identifying alterations in spine alignment which require followup and remediation.
