Exercise and KinesiotapingExerciseexercise and sham taping
Exercise and Kinesiotaping: Exercise and Kinesiotaping
Exercise: only exercise will be performed without any band treatment
exercise and sham taping: exercise and sham banding (banding without tension with plaster)
Study summary
The primary aim of our research is to evaluate the positive effects of exercise and kinesiotaping on the thoracic kyphosis angle in young adults between the ages of 18-45 with a thoracic kyphosis angle of 40 degrees and above. Secondary aims are to investigate the effects of kinesiotaping on dynamic and static balance, pain, and quality of life in patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Thoracic hyperkyphosis angle (Kyphosis Angle Measurement with Flexicurve) — 9 months They will be performed at the beginning of the study, at the end of treatment (1st month) and 1 month after the end of treatment (2nd month).
Kyphosis index will be calculated with the formula: (TL/TW) x 100. Higher indices will indicate higher degrees of kyphosis.
All measurements will be performed by two different specialists, repeated 2 times each and averaged.
(How to measure is explained in detail in the 'detailed description' section).
