Methods. Fifty healthy subjects who were not affected by other medical disorders that could affect gait or balance were enrolled in the study. By simulation of kyphotic condition through change of the angles of the line connecting the shoulder to the hip and the ankle axis by approximately 30°...
After a 4-week intervention, comparison of the kyphotic group's baseline and follow-up results showed a significant change in balance ( P=.003) and several gait parameters ( P<.05). Mean back extensor strength improved significantly from baseline (144.0卤46.5 N) to follow-up (198.6卤55.2 ...
