Answer: Kyphosis

Explanation:Kyphosis is defined as an excessive posterior curvature of the spine, resulting in a rounded-shoulders posture. If the scapular adductors are weak, fatigued, or injured, the muscular tension created by the pectoralis minor will tilt the scapulae forward and down, resulting in kyphosis

Kyphosis can be caused by weak scapular adductor muscles.
