Brief Summary

Posture is defined as the situation in which each part of the body is properly positioned in the adjacent segment and is in the most ideal position in proportion to the whole body. Posture requires the appropriateness of joint combinations and positions during movement. With the development of technology, various phone and computer-aided applications are used both in the correction and evaluation of posture. It is thought that posture disorders may cause various pathological problems in the future and may lead to functional limitations in the individual. With the developing technology, there are a limited number of studies on the validity and reliability of phone and computer-aided applications in every field of health. The aim of this study is to perform the validity and reliability study of a sensorless objective application integrated with artificial intelligence used in posture evaluation with the developing technology.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Posture Evaluation System (Fizyosoft™ Becure Posture System)

  Becure Posture is an artificial intelligence-supported technological solution that allows individuals to perform posture analysis, can be used via mobile devices or computer applications. The purpose of the application is to perform posture analysis by adding photographs of clients or patients, to provide analysis by physically taking their photographs, to automatically determine joint points with artificial intelligence support and to enable users to manually edit these points when needed. It also allows users to receive reports. The application is licensed and can be accessed from AppleStore or PlayStore after obtaining the license. After logging in to the account, a total of 4 photos must be uploaded to the page that opens, including the name and surname, in order to evaluate the posture: anterior, posterior, right lateral and left lateral. After the photo is uploaded, a report is printed out in which the detailed posture analysis of the upper and lower extremities is performed.

  Individuals who meet theinclusion criteria and volunteer will be evaluated simultaneously by 3 expert physiotherapists on consecutive days (3 days) at the same time, with 3 repetitions using Posture Evaluation System (Fizyosoft™ Becure Posture System).

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• New York Posture Assessment

  Individuals who meet theinclusion criteria and volunteer will be evaluated simultaneously by 3 expert physiotherapists on consecutive days (3 days) at the same time, with 3 repetitions using New York Posture Assessment.

• Posture Analysis with Static Observation (Lateral, Anterior, Posterior)

  Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer will be evaluated simultaneously by 3 expert physiotherapists on consecutive days (3 days) at the same time, with 3 repetitions using observational posture analysis

Study Population

The population of the research consists of young adult individuals in the general Turkish population, and the research sample consists of young adult individuals in the Turkish population who volunteered to participate in the research. There is only one research group consisting of volunteer individuals. There is only one research group within the scope of the study. Data will be collected from individuals face to face. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer will be evaluated simultaneously by 3 expert physiotherapists on consecutive days (3 days) at the same time, with 3 repetitions using observational posture analysis, New York posture scale and artificial intelligence-supported posture application.

You may qualify if:

• Young adult individuals between the ages of 18-39
• Individuals who volunteer to participate in the study
