About this trial
Orthognathic surgery leads to changes in the three-dimensional position of the jaws, which may result in alterations in head and neck posture as well as overall body posture. These postural changes are also expected to influence plantar pressure distribution. This study aims to evaluate the direction and magnitude of these changes by assessing posture and plantar pressure measurements before and after orthognathic surgery.
Postural analysis and plantar pressure measurements will be performed preoperatively and at the 6-month postoperative follow-up in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. In order to allow a reliable comparison, a control group consisting of non-operated individuals will also be included. The range of natural changes observed in the control group will be determined, and the outcomes will be compared between the surgical and control groups.
By comparing preoperative and postoperative measurements, this study aims to evaluate the effects of orthognathic surgery on body posture and plantar pressure distribution. The findings are expected to contribute to the identification of parameters that should be considered in postoperative evaluation and rehabilitation. Furthermore, the results will provide valuable information regarding the postural and plantar pressure changes observed in patients following orthognathic surgery.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Plantar Pressure Distribution
Plantar pressure distribution will be evaluated using static and dynamic pedobarographic measurements. Peak plantar pressure, pressure distribution patterns, and contact area will be recorded preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively to assess changes in plantar loading following orthognathic surgery.
Time frame
Baseline and 6 months postoperativeSecondary outcomes
1
Change in Whole-Body Postural Alignment Measured by PostureScreen® Mobile Application at Baseline and 6 Months Postoperative
Whole-body postural alignment will be quantitatively evaluated using the PostureScreen® mobile application. Digital postural parameters will be recorded preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively to assess changes in global body posture following orthognathic surgery.
Time frame
Preoperative baseline and 6 months postoperative2
Change in Cranio-Cervical Posture Measured by Lateral Cephalometric Analysis at Baseline and 6 Months Postoperative
Cranio-cervical posture will be assessed using lateral cephalometric radiographs. Angular cephalometric parameters will be recorded preoperatively. OPT/CVT angle (Odontoid Process Tangent / Cervical Vertebra Tangent angle) will be measured on lateral cephalometric radiographs to evaluate postoperative cranio-cervical postural changes.
