0 a condition in which someone's spine (= the line of bones down their back) curves outwards too much
Trained physiotherapists have achieved remarkable improvements in pain control and also of kyphosis.
Though the most obvious effect of the fracture is back pain and kyphosis, it also often interferes with a wide range of self-care activities.
Most patients can stand more erectly to command and will also lie flat, unlike the elderly patient with a fixed thoracic kyphosis.
Though rare, multiple vertebral fractures can lead to such severe hunch back (kyphosis), the resulting pressure on internal organs can impair one's ability to breathe.
In studies, kyphosis is better characterized for the thoracic spine than for the lumbar spine.
Cervical kyphosis can be very dangerous to an individual because it can cause the vertebrae to disturb the spinal cord.
It is a combination of kyphosis and scoliosis.
Osteoporosis, a potential cause of kyphosis, can be confirmed with a bone density scan.
