Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between increased thoracic kyphosis and these factors.

Detailed Description

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

Thoracic kyphosis angle was assessed with a manual inclinometer, shoulder pain severity with a Visual Analog Scale, shoulder range of motion with a manual goniometer, shoulder isokinetic strength with an isokinetic dynamometer, and upper extremity function with the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire.
