| description | The case report has been presented to show the effects of thoracic correction exercises on flexed posture in older men with upper body
dysfunction using posture analysis software and pectoralis minor muscle length test. The present case is that of a 94-year-old male.
He was guided for a specific thoracic correction exercises for 12 weeks. The program included breathing correction, thorax mobility,
scapular stability and passive stretching of Pectoralis major and minor, performed thrice a week, 30 min each session, for 12 weeks.
Outcome measures included the upper body dysfunction changes by posture analysis software and pectoralis minor muscle length
test. The Pre and Post–test of the patient demonstrated significantly greater improvements in hyperkyphosis (forward head posture) and
pectoralis minor muscle length. This case study provides a promising exercise intervention that may improve flexed posture in older men
with age-related upper body dysfunction. |
