Participants were randomly allocated to a face-to-face rehabilitation group (n\u2009=\u200910) or a telerehabilitation group (n\u2009=\u200910) using the Fiziu Digital Exercise Platform. Both groups performed the same supervised exercise program three times per week for six weeks. Thoracic kyphosis angle (TKA), manual muscle testing (MMT) of the back extensors, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for discomfort were assessed pre- and post-intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the face-to-face group, significant improvements were observed in all outcome measures. TKA decreased by 2.00\u00b0 (p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), MMT increased by 0.50 points (p\u2009=\u2009.037), and VAS decreased by 1.90 points (p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). In the telerehabilitation group, TKA also showed a significant reduction of 1.55\u00b0 (p\u2009=\u2009.002), and VAS decreased significantly by 1.30 points (p\u2009=\u2009.009). Although MMT increased by 0.40 points in the telerehabilitation group, this change did not reach statistical significance (p\u2009=\u2009.072). No significant between-group differences were observed for any outcome at post-intervention (TKA p\u2009=\u2009.34; MMT p\u2009=\u2009.693; VAS p\u2009=\u2009.27).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both face-to-face and telerehabilitation approaches improved posture, muscle strength, and discomfort in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
