Abstract :
Background Information
The majority of people in geriatric population are
suffering with hyperkyphosis which decrese physical and
physiological well being of geriatric population.
Physical Impact :
Pain and Discomfort :
Majority of people suffering with chronic backpain
and feel discomfort in doing daily activities.
Reduced Mobility :
As the excessive curvature lead to decreased flexion
of spinal cord lead to decreased mobility.
Balance and Stability :
Hyperkyphosis might effect the balance and
stability in people.
Respiratory Effects :
As hyper curvature may compress the the chest
cavity lead to respiratory distress while doing physical
activities.
Keywords :
Hyperkyphosis, Kyphosis, Geriatrics, Senile, Measurement, Review.
