Kinesiotaping for posture and balance in hyperkyphosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have a kyphosis angle (the curve in your upper back) of at least 40 degrees, confirmed by X-ray.
