Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postural Awareness Scale

  The Postural Awareness Scale (PAS) was designed by Cramer et al. 1 to measure self-reported awareness of body posture, and translated to Turkish version by Dursun et al.. The PAS consist of 12 items in original form but 12th item was removed from the Turkish version due to factor load was low. The PAS consist of two factor structures, ease/familiarity with postural awareness (items 6-11) and need for attention regulation with postural awareness (items 1-5). The Turkish version of PAS scores range from 11 to 77, higher scores indicate high greater postural awareness. The total score was calculated after reversing the values of items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and adding other items.
