Overview
Brief Summary
It is known that posture is affected by various factors such as somatosensation, visual perception and cognition. In addition, it is also thought to affect conditions such as stress and anxiety through receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural changes such as thoracic kyphosis, musculoskeletal problems, trunk position sense and anxiety in young individuals who were asymptomatic in terms of musculoskeletal problems.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Throcic Kyphosis
Time Frame: Baseline
The thoracic kyphosis angle was evaluated with a dual digital inclinometer (Acumar, Lafeyette, USA). Repetitive cervical flexion, extension and lateral flexion movements were asked from the subjects before the measurement. They were also asked to perform back rotation of the shoulders and to take a deep breath in and out. Subsequently, they were asked to stand in a normal position in which they were comfortable and the measurement was performed. The inclinometer was placed on the T1-2 and T12-L1 vertebrae. The value on the inclinometer screen was noted as the degree of kyphosis. A kyphosis angle of 20-40 degrees is considered normal. Values above 45 degrees are considered as hyperkyphosis.
