Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Are the KypDisT and conventional C7WD are practical, valid, reliable, and effectiveness of the tools to discriminate the functional ability impairments relating to kyphosis when compare with gold standard (Cobb's method), and compare among physical therapy, VHS and caregiver?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. To further develop an innovation to measure kyphosis using distance from the wall, a Kyphosis wall distance tool (KypDisT).
2. investigate validity of the measurements in terms of 2.1 Concurrent validity of conventional C7WD and KypDisT as compared to a gold standard (Cobb's method).

2.2 Discriminative ability of conventional C7WD and KypDisT on functional abilities in elderly with different severity of kyphosis.
3. To investigate the reliability of the measurements in terms of 3.1 Test-retest reliability of conventional C7WD and KypDisT. 3.2 Reliability of conventional C7WD and KypDisT comparing among physical therapy, VHS and caregiver.
4. To explore the distance to indicate risk of spinal fracture to indicate a risk of spinal fracture.
