Brief 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.
Detailed Description:
The intervention includes strength, flexibility, postural correction, and balance training. The primary outcome is the change in Cobb's angle measured via radiographs; secondary outcomes include functional mobility and balance assessments using the Timed Up and Go Test, Berg Balance Scale, and Functional Reach Test. Data will be analyzed using SPSS v26. The study is expected to show significant improvements in spinal alignment, strength, balance, and reduced fall risk. The framework may offer a cost-effective, evidence-based approach for clinical and community rehabilitation
