Abstract :

Introduction:The necessity and importance of such research, particularly among younger individuals, are quite evident due to the flexibility of bones and the growth of body organs at these ages. By using exercises and a combination of kinesiotaping and Theraband, we can address their deformities and provide them with suitable solutions. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of an 8-week Theraband training program with kinesiotaping on the angle of kyphosis in adolescent boys with kyphosis. Methods: A total of 24 male adolescents from sports clubs in Isfahan (aged 15-18) were selected as a statistical sample. These individuals were selected randomly and through observation. The tool used for measurement was a flexible ruler. Data analysis was conducted using a dependent t-test and covariance analysis. Findings: The pre-test kyphosis angle in the Theraband with kinesiotaping training group was 49.71 ± 0.7 (p = 0.604), and the post-training kyphosis angle was 46.97 ± 0.8 (p = 0.002), indicating a significant reduction. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the combination of Theraband training with kinesiotaping used in this research was effective and met the expected outcomes, resulting in a reduction in the angle of kyphosis in adolescent boys with kyphosis.
