Feasibility of a Physical Therapy Intervention on Older Adults With Hyperkyphosis or Forward Head...
PneumoniaCOPD3 moreThe original intent was to use a manual therapy and therapeutic exercise intervention with older patients with pneumonia post-hospitalization. It was hypothesized that the physical therapy intervention would have a positive impact on posture, physical function, pulmonary function, gait, quality of life, and ultimately readmission. This patient population was found to be not feasible to recruit and the study target population was expanded to include older community dwelling adults with pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or hyperkyphosis.
Effect of Mulligan Snag and Diaphragmatic Release on Thoracic Kyphosis
Postural KyphosisCervicothoracic Regionthe aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of mulligan snag mobilisation and diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome
Correction for Kyphotic Posture for Improving Balance in Cerebral Palsy
KyphosisChildren with spastic diplegia are at an increased risk of spinal deformities. The most common types of these spinal deformities are scoliosis and kyphosis. Thoracic hyper-kyphosis may adversely affect balance in children with cerebral palsy . The treatment approaches for hyper-kyphosis involved both conservative and surgical treatments. The Conservative approach includes corrective exercises, positioning, and spinal braces. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of conservative orthotic management for kyphotic posture on balance control, and fall risk in cerebral palsied children of spastic diplegia.
Study of Hyperkyphosis, Exercise and Function-SHEAF
KyphosisWe propose to conduct a randomized, controlled trial among 100 men and women aged 60 or older with hyperkyphosis to an exercise intervention that includes kyphosis-specific spinal muscle strengthening exercises compared to a usual care control group. The study will be conducted in five waves,with 10 participants in the exercise intervention and 10 participants in the control group in each wave.
Effects of Droxidopa When Measuring Gait Speed, Kyphosis, and Functional Reach in Parkinson's Disease...
Parkinson's DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to determine if droxidopa reduces fall risk by improving gait speed, kyphosis, and functional reach in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Epsilon-Aminocaproaic Acid to Reduce the Need for Blood Transfusions During and Following Spine...
ScoliosisKyphosis3 moreIndividuals who undergo spine surgery often have a significant loss of blood and may require multiple blood transfusions. Research has shown that epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) may reduce the amount of blood lost during surgery, which would decrease the number of blood transfusions required. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EACA at reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusions in individuals undergoing spine surgery.
Specialized Centers of Research (SCOR)on Sex Differences - Kyphosis Study
KyphosisThis is a randomized, controlled trial among 100 total males and females with hyperkyphosis, aged 60 years and older, to determine the effects of an exercise intervention that includes high intensity spinal muscle strengthening exercises compared to a usual care waitlist group.
Yoga for Kyphosis Trial
KyphosisThis study seeks to determine whether a specially designed Hatha Yoga program can reduce hyperkyphosis in men and women who are at least 60 years of age and who have excessive thoracic kyphosis.
Physical Therapy Exercises in Hyperkyphosis
HyperkyphosisThis proposal is a single center preliminary prospective cohort trial that evaluates patients with hyperkyphosis. Participants will receive physical therapy exercises and be followed for the above outcome measures over time. The treatment arm will receive training in one-time training in kyphosis-specific exercises. It is hypothesized that participants receive physical therapy exercises will demonstrate improved outcome measures over time. Also, it is hypothesized that participants who receive kyphosis-specific exercises will demonstrate significantly improved perceived quality-of-life and significantly reduced pain, compared to participants who receive generalized back exercises after 6 months. Also, it is hypothesized that a kyphosis-specific SAQ will demonstrate satisfactory test-retest reliability and concurrent validity.
