When examining correlations within each kyphosis group, the relationship between Cobb angle and SIR remained weak and failed to reach statistical significance: In Group A, the correlation coefficient was R = 0.235 ( p = 0.094), In Group B, R = 0.046 ( p = 0.718), In Group C, R = 0.158 ( p = 0.278).

However, the difference between Group A and Group B did not achieve significance ( p = 0.223), suggesting that the most notable changes in scapular internal rotation are observed in individuals with more severe kyphosis.
