Abstract: Background Information The majority of people in geriatric population are suffering with hyperkyphosis which decrese physical and physiological well being of geriatric population.  Physical Impact :  Pain and Discomfort : Majority of people suffering with chronic backpain and feel discomfort in doing daily activities.  Reduced Mobility : As the excessive curvature lead to decreased flexion of spinal cord lead to decreased mobility.  Balance and Stability : Hyperkyphosis might effect the balance and stability in people.  Respiratory Effects : As hyper curvature may compress the the chest cavity lead to respiratory distress while doing physical activities.

Keywords: Hyperkyphosis, Kyphosis, Geriatrics, Senile, Measurement, Review.
