Abstract
Introduction: One of the common undesirable postures that poor mobility has brought to humans due to the significant growth of technology and the widespread use of tools and communication devices is the excessive increase of the back arch (hyperkyphosis) and forward head deformity. Therefore, the aim of this research is to review the effects of rehabilitation exercises in people with kyphosis and head forward.
Methods: The current study was a systematic review, searching for articles in Persian and Latin from the beginning of December 2005 to the beginning of April 2023, which were found in Wos, SID, Magiran, Scopus, ISC, PubMed and Google databases. Scholar was done.
Results: A number of 7 articles in the field of rehabilitation exercises stated that performing corrective exercises improves head forward and kyphosis and also improves posture. One of the articles stated that the use of braces decreased the electrical activity of the trapezius of patients with kyphosis, which will increase the time to reach fatigue.
Conclusion: The current review study showed that exercise protocols improve kyphosis and head forward complications, as well as improve pain and maintain proper posture in affected people.
