About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Young adult individuals between the ages of 18-39

Individuals who volunteer to participate in the study

Individuals who are Turkish citizens, reside in Turkey and have been in Turkey for at least 1 month before and during the study period

Individuals who can communicate in written and verbal Turkish

Disqualifiers

Individuals with any physical or mental disability and/or cognitive impairment

Pregnant women

Individuals with orthopedic, neurological, vestibular diseases that may affect walking and balance functions

Individuals with neuromuscular system diseases or diseases that will prevent postural control measurements (vertigo, neuropathy, etc.) or those using medication

Trial 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.

Trial outcomes

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.

Time frame
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

1

New York Posture Assessment

NYPD evaluates the correct and incorrect alignment of various body parts of a person in an anatomical position using a quantitative approach. A scoring system is used in the assessment. In the posture scoring, 5 points are given if it is correct, 3 points if there is a moderate disorder and 1 point if there is a high degree of disorder. The total score obtained as a result of the scoring is a maximum of 65 and a minimum of 13. In the developed standard evaluation criteria, if the total score is ≥45, it is defined as very good, 40-44 as good, 30-39 as medium, 20-29 as weak, and ≤19 as bad. A high score indicates that the posture is correct.

Time frame
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.
2

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

Posture analysis performed with static observation is performed in 3 aspects: lateral posture analysis, anterior posture analysis and posterior posture analysis. Observed disorders will be recorded by scoring between 0-3. In the scoring system, 0 indicates no, 1 indicates mild, 2 indicates moderate and 3 indicates severe disorders.

Time frame
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
