The purpose of this study was to introduce and compare of effectiveness of three methods of corrective exercise program on spinal posture of healthy individuals 18-25 years old with SBP. Design of study is prospective, randomized controlled design with parallel group. The study was conducted in the Bu ali Sina University Sport Medicine and Corrective Exercise laboratory. One hundred five participants (mean age 20.9±2.1 years) with SBP (⩾ 10°) were enrolled in the study for 12 weeks. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group 1 (n=35) intervention group 2 (35) or control group (n=35). Intervention group 1 received traditional corrective exercises program that only includes the upper quarter exercises. The intervention group 2 received comprehensive exercise program which in addition to stretching and strengthening exercises of upper quarter included a core region exercises. The third group was the control group that did not receive any correction program. Correction exercise programs of groups were conducted for duration of 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week and the 40 to 80 minutes in each session. During this period the control group did their daily activities. Primary outcome is change in sway angle of sway angle measured using a digitized side-view photograph. Secondary outcomes include forward head angle measured using a digitized side-view photograph, Kyphosis index and lordosis index measured using a flexicurve ruler and inclinometer, secondary pelvis tilt angle measured using a Scorpion inclinometer and postural stability measured using a Zebris plantar pressure.

Intervention groups
1
Description
The intervention group 1 received a 12-week routine stretching and strengthening exercise program comprised of three 60-80-min sessions per week. The training program only included upper quarter exercises. Strengthening exercises targeted the perscapular muscles, thoracic spine extensor muscles, neck flexor muscles but not lumbopelvic muscles. Participants performed three sets of 10 repetitions of all strengthening exercises. The stretching portion of the intervention aimed at increasing the flexibility of the pectoralis muscles, cervical neck extensors and hamstring muscles. Each subject first warmed up with light aerobic activity and general stretching exercises for five minutes. After these exercises, participants cooled down with general stretching exercises and slow walking for five minutes.
