Kyphosis 
Kyphosis means an abnormal curve of the spine. Most people when viewed from the side have a normal slight curve of the upper back. This curve is necessary for proper balance and to support the load of the body. For individuals with kyphosis, when viewed from the side the upper back appears more rounded than normal.
Mild kyphosis in older children is often postural and mildly uncomfortable, but easily remedied through strengthening exercises. In more serious cases of kyphosis the back appears very rounded or to be hunched over.
Kyphosis can develop from a variety of causes such as endocrine diseases, degenerative diseases, connective tissue disorders, fractures, developmental problems, disc degeneration, infection, trauma, and muscular dystrophy.
