DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-12002-w
Abstract: Center-of-pressure (CoP) oscillations represent the neuromuscular system’s response to control the body’s center of mass. In older adults, hyperkyphosis alters body alignment, increases sway, and impairs proprioception. While some studies have explored hyperkyphosis effects on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17483107.2018.1555289
Abstract: Abstract Purpose: The ageing process can be accompanied by a degeneration of the spine and increase the risk of thoracic hyperkyphosis (excessive spinal forward curvature) amongst elderly people. This condition can in turn impair mobility,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/gme.0000000000001070
Abstract: Objective: Hyperkyphosis, an exaggerated anterior curvature of the thoracic spine, is associated with poor physical function, falls, fractures, and earlier mortality. Low bone mineral density, bone loss, and vertebral fractures are strong risk factors for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1519/jpt.0000000000000371
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thoracic hyperkyphosis may adversely influence physical function in older adults, but the literature is mixed and confounded by possible sex differences. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the association between… read more here.

DOI: 10.22088/cjim.14.1.31
Abstract: Background: Hyperkyphosis is a frequent problem in older adults. Depressed mood and decreased quality of life are supposed to be related to age-related hyperkyphosis. This study aimed to explain the relation between depression, quality of… read more here.
