Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify the effect of rehabilitative exercises in correcting the curvature of the spine and the head falling forward among 16-year-old female high school students. The researchers used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research, and the researchers used a one-group design with two pre- and post-tests. The research community consisted of 16-year-old female high school students. The researchers intentionally selected members of the research community from Wasit High School, who numbered (20) students. After obtaining the approval of the students’ parents and the administration of the concerned school, a medical examination was conducted by looking and by standing with their backs against the wall. The result of these examinations was the presence of a group of (5) female students with kyphosis. One of the most important results reached by the researcher is that: There are positive effects of rehabilitative exercises, and these exercises reduce the degree of curvature of the spine for members of the research sample at the age of 16 years in the X-ray test (XRay) or through the Freguson angle, and there are statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in measuring the degree of the spinal curvature angle and the forward bend of the head. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education)
