Aquatic vs Mat Pilates for Thoracic Kyphosis in Older Women

This study is a comparative interventional trial designed to evaluate the effects of Aquatic Pilates versus Mat Pilates on respiratory function, functional capacity, quality of life, and thoracic kyphosis in older women. Thoracic kyphosis is a common postural deviation in older adults that may negatively affect respiratory mechanics, physical performance, and quality of life. Participants were allocated into four groups and assessed at three time points: baseline (pre-intervention), after 6 weeks of intervention, and immediately following the completion of a 12-week exercise program. Outcome measures included anthropometric characteristics (height, body weight, and body mass index), degree of thoracic kyphosis, respiratory function assessed via spirometric testing, functional capacity evaluated using standardized physical performance tests, and quality of life. The intervention programs consisted of structured Aquatic Pilates and Mat Pilates protocols designed to improve postural alignment, respiratory efficiency, functional ability, and overall quality of life. The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Aquatic Pilates versus Mat Pilates on respiratory, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes in older women with thoracic kyphosis.

Kinesio Taping Versus Dry Cupping Therapy in Treatment of Thoracic Kyphosis

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping versus dry cupping therapy in the treatment of thoracic kyphosis

Can Mobilizations Applied to the Thoracic Spine Improve Oxygen Saturation Levels and Thoracic Kyphosis in E-Cigarette Smokers?

The goal of this study is to determine if manual therapy can improve thoracic spinal posture and pulse oximetery in individuals who use e-cigarettes. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Is there an immediate improvements in thoracic posture * Is there immediate improvements in pulse oximetery Research will compare an experimental group and a control group to examine the effects.
