Abstract Background: To compare the effectiveness of Schroth-based exercise versus theraband exercise along with modified classical yoga in treating postural kyphosis among college students.
Materials and Methods: The research design was a comparative study. Thirty individuals were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received Schroth-based exercise, whereas Group B received theraband exercise and modified classical yoga. Each group was evaluated using outcome measures such as the thoracic kyphosis angle and kyphotic appearance.
Results: Data analysis was done by using paired and unpaired ‘t’ test for within group and between group. Statistical analysis between groups showed significant improvement in group A (P<0.0001). The result of the study shows that in group A, the thoracic kyphotic angle and kyphotic appearance have reduced than group B among college students.
Conclusion: A comparative research was undertaken to assess the effect of Schroth-based exercise vs theraband exercise combined with modified classical yoga in treating postural kyphosis among college students. Schroth-based exercise combined with modified classical yoga is beneficial for lowering the kyphotic angle and improving kyphotic appearance in college students with postural kyphosis.
Keywords Flexicurve kyphosis angle (FKA), Kyphosis specific spinal appearance questionnaire (K-SAQ)
