Brief Summary

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

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesio taping and sham taping in addition to self-stretching exercise on hyperkyphosis angle, neck pain and quality of life in elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis.

Method: 60 elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis aged 60-85 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided inti three groups. Kinesio taping, sham taping and self-stretching exercise. The kinesio taping group will be given kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The second sham taping group will be given sham kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The third self-stretching group will be given a program consisting of stretching exercises for pectoral, erector spinae, latismus dorsi, multifidus, rhomboid and trapezius muscles. Individuals will be asked to do these exercises on their own for 15-20 minutes at home or in the office every day for four weeks. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for the kyphosis angle will be evaluated with a flexible ruler and Scoliosis Research Society Outcome questionnaire (SRS22) will be used to evaluate spinal curvatures.The Neck Disability Questionnaire will be used to evaluate neck pain. The occiput-neck distance and mini mental test will be used in this srudy.
