View MoreThis conversation explores a trial targeting thoracic hyperkyphosis in younger adults with chronic non-specific neck pain. Dr. Harrison outlines the international team behind the work, noting rising sagittal-plane deformities linked to sedentary behaviour. Using a novel spinal orthotic to gradually restore thoracic alignment, the study demonstrated improvements in posture, forward head position, neck pain, disability, and sensory-motor control, including balance, head repositioning, and ocular tracking. Clinically, the findings suggest a potential strategy to counteract a prevalent deformity that begins early in adulthood and may worsen with age. The team plans multiple follow-up investigations within a special issue on spinal rehabilitation, anticipating broader insights into posture-related health and deformity prevention.
