We all have a kyphosis in our thoracic spine...it is the normal curve. As such, your question likely needs more detail.
The muscles involved in kyphosis are primarily the muscles of the back and abdomen. Weakness in these muscles can lead to poor posture and an excessive rounding of the upper back, contributing to the development of kyphosis.
A quick look at the back will usually identify kyphosis. X rays of the spine will confirm the diagnosis and identify its cause.
