结局指标
主要结局
Thoracolumbar fascia flexibility
时间窗: baseline
The goniometric platform will be placed on a table in front of the participants to measure thoracolumbar flexibility (TLF). Participants will be seated on an unsupported chair with the lumbar region in a neutral position and the knees and hips flexed at 90°. The pelvis will be stabilized by the researcher holding the spina iliaca posterior superior. Participants will be instructed to rotate their trunk first to the right and then to the left, following verbal cues provided by the researcher. At the endpoint of each rotation, participants will be asked to mark the platform in front of them while maintaining 90° shoulder flexion, with their hands clasped in front of the trunk and holding a wooden pen between their hands. Each measurement will be performed three times for each side, and the average value will be recorded.
