This study was conducted on forty male patients (15 in the control group and 25 in the study group)) with low back pain hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine, ages ranged from 20 - 40 years old. The visual analogue scale, the Oswestry disability questionnaire, and Cobb's angle was assessed for all patients before any intervention and two months post-intervention.
This study was conducted on 40 male patients aged 20 to 40 suffering from LBP. Patients were included in the study if they had hyperkyphosis with an X-ray cobb's angle greater than 40 degrees. The visual analogue scale (VAS), the Oswestry disability questionnaire (ODI), and Cobb's angle were assessed for all patients before and one month post-intervention. Patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in this study were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Group 1 (the control group) received the usual care for the lumbar spine which includes TENS, ultrasound, and myofascial release for the lumbar spine in addition to a core program including bridge, half bridge and clam shell exercise. Group 2 (the study group) received the triple attack protocol which includes a modified P-A mobilization, manipulation, and stabilization program (Active and passive) for the thoracic spine in addition to the usual care and the core program for the lumbar spine
