Abstract
Excessive thoracic kyphosis is considered a predisposing factor for shoulder pain,
though there is uncertainty about the nature of the relationship between shoulder
pain and thoracic spine posture. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate
the relationship between thoracic kyphosis and shoulder pain, shoulder range of motion
(ROM) and function.
