NCT06785792
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.

The aim of our study is to evaluate temporomandibular joint (TMJ), cervical posture, balance, dual-task performance, and social adaptation skills in individuals with autism. The study will be conducted at Bartın Lider Special Education and Rehabilitation Center following the approval of the ethics committee. Individuals determined by the sample size calculated through power analysis will be included in the study. First, the socio-demographic characteristics (age, height, body weight, body mass index, education level, exercise and smoking habits, etc.) of the participants who voluntarily join the study will be recorded. Participants will be divided into two groups: individuals with typical motor development and those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the same assessment tools will be used for both groups. Individuals with typical motor development will serve as the control group. The assessment tools include the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, the 10-Meter Walk Test, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, the PostureScreen Android-based posture assessment application, and the Helkimo Clinical Dysfunction Index for craniomandibular disorders. Based on the evaluation results, the relationships between TMJ, cervical posture, functional balance, dual-task performance, and social adaptation skills in individuals with autism will be analyzed and compared with those of individuals with typical motor development.

NCT05630911
This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps by investigating the effects of trait conscious movement processing propensity on real-time (state) conscious movement processing propensity, postural stability, and muscle efficiency in older adults at risk of falling in Hong Kong with high and low trait conscious movement processing propensities, while standing in a challenging environment with different levels of standing task difficulties. The study results would contribute to our scientific understanding of the mechanisms of conscious movement processing in older adults while maintaining standing balance in a challenging environment. It could inform the follow-up investigations for the development of the most appropriate psychomotor standing balance re-education intervention in rehabilitation so as to mitigate the effect of conscious movement processing and the risk of falling in older adults. The findings from the proposed research could ultimately help improve the outcome of fall rehabilitation programmes and reduce the impact of falls in the older adults in Hong Kong.
NCT06012032
The postural observation of the patient has an important role for the evaluation and monitoring of orthopedic and neurological degenerative pathologies. The study of the effects of rehabilitation in the treatment of postural alterations depends on the validity, sensitivity and specificity of the tool used. The radiographic evaluation of the spine in the standard anteroposterior and lateral projections is the gold standard and provides a standardized and objective measure of the dysmorphisms and paramorphisms of the spine, although it requires exposure to X-rays and with costs of the method especially in the need to repeat the radiological examination in time. Non-radiological tools for postural assessment have been proposed in the literature, with uncertain judgments by the various authors regarding their validity and reliability, due to the heterogeneity and poor quality of the studies in this regard. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new posture analysis methodology (BHOHB SPINAL-METER ® and CervicalMeter®) in measuring spine dysmorphisms and paramorphisms in adult patients affected by orthopedic and neurological degenerative pathologies, who carry out rehabilitation at the Policlinico Gemelli Foundation (FPG) Hospitalization and Rehabilitation Services clinic. In particular, the correspondence of radiological and clinical data with the reports obtained from the "BHOHB SPINAL-METER ® and CervicalMeter®" will be considered and the relationship between the data obtained with the two methods and the characteristics of pain, disability, balance and quality of life will be observed of patients suffering from orthopedic and neurological disease with dysmorphisms and paramorphisms of the spine, belonging to the rehabilitation clinic who agree to participate in the study.
