| Thoracic Extension Exercises | Other | The TEE comprised of three exercise programs as follows: TEE â… : The therapist had located the restricted thoracic spinal segment on a foam roller, and the patient lied on it with their knees flexed. Both hands was crossed on the chest, and the buttocks be lifted slightly from the floor. The foam roller was rolled slowly up and down the thoracic spinal segment. TEE â…¡: Patient was be sitting with the knees flexed; a Swiss ball was placed in front. The ball was pushed forward to a distance with both hands on it. TEE â…¢: In the prone position, patient had performed the lifting up and putting down of the upper body and repeat it with the support of both elbows. Each exercise was performed with two sets of 15 reps, 10 sec per rep. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Inclinometer | An inclinometer was used to measure the range of motion at the spine. Instead of using a goniometer, we used this gadget on the spine. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) | The NPRS used to gauge the patient's degree of pain. On a 0-10 scale, where 0 represents no pain, 1-3 represents mild pain, 4-6 represents moderate pain, and 7-10 represents severe pain, this tool is frequently used to gauge intensity of pain. Patients rate how much pain they are currently experiencing as well as how much pain they have experienced in the past 24 hours. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Kyphosis Specific Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (K-SAQ) | A modified SAQ was used to create the K-SAQ, which measures characteristics of appearance unique to kyphosis. Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.84) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.91) were demonstrated by the K-SAQ total averages. | From enrollment till the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Cobb meter | Excellent correlation was found between the CobbMeter application and the usual approach using the protractor, as evidenced by the intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.963 for all measures. | From enrollment till the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
