Abstract: (157 Views)
Introduction: One of the common undesirable postural abnormalities that poor mobility has brought to humans due to the significant growth of technology and 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 on people with kyphosis and forward head posture.
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, using the Wos, SID, Magiran, Scopus, ISC, PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
Results: A number of seven articles in the field of rehabilitation exercises reported that corrective exercises improve forward head and kyphosis, as well as posture. One article indicated that the use of braces reduced trapezius muscle electrical activity in patients with kyphosis, which may delay fatigue onset.
Conclusions: : The current review study showed that exercise protocols improve kyphosis and forward head complications, as well as improve pain and maintain proper posture in affected individuals.
