Effects of a 10-week exercise intervention on thoracic kyphosis, pulmonary function, endurance, back extensor strength, and quality of life in women with osteoporosis
… the United States have osteoporosis. Pronounced kyphosis of the thoracic spine is one of the most common clinical manifestations of spinal osteoporosis, with one quarter of all women over the age of 60 developing vertebral deformities as a consequence of spinal osteoporosis. Kyphotic posture can …

Investigation of spine loading to understand vertebral fractures
… assess in vivo spinal loading, especially in the thoracic region. Thus, the overall goal of this work was to improve the understanding of vertebral fractures through detailed analysis of spinal loading. We first developed and validated a novel musculoskeletal model capable of predicting forces in …
