Pakistan72 participantsStarted 2025-04-17
Plain-language summary
Postural hyperkyphosis is common in postmenopausal women and leads to spinal dysfunction, pain, impaired balance, and increased fall risk. This study aims to develop and validate a multimodal physiotherapy framework to prevent and manage hyperkyphosis in this population. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Allied Hospital with 72 postmenopausal women aged 40-75 years, divided into intervention (multimodal physiotherapy with conventional care) and control (conventional care only) groups.
