In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a postural disorder characterized by excessive thoracic curvature exceeding 40ยฐ, which may negatively affect proprioception, postural alignment, and muscle mechanical properties. Kinesiology taping (KT) has been proposed as a non-invasive intervention to improve postural control and proprioceptive feedback through cutaneous mechanoreceptor stimulation. However, evidence regarding its immediate effects on thoracic proprioception and muscle mechanical properties in young adults with thoracic hyperkyphosis remains limited. This sham-controlled randomized clinical trial aims to investigate the immediate effects of kinesiology taping on thoracic joint position sense, postural alignment, and muscle mechanical properties in young adults with thoracic hyperkyphosis. Muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity will be assessed using MyotonPRO, alongside measurements of thora
