Causes of Kyphosis: Primary causes such as defective vision or hearing often result in holding the head futher forward. Defective vision or incorrect spectacles lead to the development of leaning forward specially while writing or reading books. Hard hearing people often develop the habit of craning forward to assist their hearing. Tight and rough collars of a dress may result in holding the head wrongly. All such habits produce a strain on the extensior or pulling back muscles of the neck and spine and make them weak.
