Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021 Oct 17;18(20):10923.Thirty-six females with flat back syndrome were randomized to receive a 12-week corrective exercise program (n=12), resistance exercise program (n=12) or standard physical therapy (n=12). Outcomes of interest included the cross-sectional area of the lumbar muscles, lumbar lordosis angle, lumbar function as measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and flexibility.

Also, the corrective exercise program outperformed the resistance exercise program in the improvement in lumbar lordosis angle and ODI scores.
