Face-to-face vs. telerehabilitation for thoracic hyperkyphosis in children- A randomized controlled pilot study

This pilot study aimed to compare the effectiveness of face-to-face rehabilitation versus telerehabilitation for treating thoracic hyperkyphosis in children aged 9-12 years. Both approaches led to improvements in thoracic kyphosis angle, back extensor muscle strength, and discomfort, with no significant differences between the two methods. The findings suggest that telerehabilitation could be a viable alternative for pediatric rehabilitation in this context.
