Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: 8 week artifical intelligence based posture exercises
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: Posture is defined as the arrangement or orientation of body parts in relation to each other.In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of an 8-week artificial intelligence-based structured exercise program in healthy adults. It performs measurements on frontal and lateral images of the individual in normal posture Photo of a participant showing how the Posture Screen Mobile app evaluates the horizontal tilt and inclination of the head, shoulders and hips from a frontal view.The craniovertebral angle (CVA) is a measurement of upper cervical posture obtained by calculating the angle between the ear tragus and a horizontal line passing through the spinous process of C7). KVA will be done with Posture Screen Mobile Phone application.Thoracic kyphosis is the anteroposterior curve of the thoracic spine in the sagittal plane and is defined using the Cobb angle.Thoracic kyphosis is the hunching of the spine in the upper back into an extreme external curve due to deformity.An artificial intelligence application called "Musclewiki" will be used for healthy adults to continue their exercise training at home. For 8 weeks, exercise will be practiced 3 times a week in the company of a physiotherapist, accompanied by a physiotherapist through artificial intelligence.

Detailed description: Posture is defined as the arrangement or orientation of body parts in relation to each other. This alignment depends on the effect of gravity, muscle tension and the integrity of the bony structures. Posture disorders, which are now common among healthy young adults, are caused by a number of factors that have emerged in combination with the effects of modern lifestyle.In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of an 8-week artificial intelligence-based structured exercise program in healthy adults. It performs measurements on frontal and lateral images of the individual in normal posture Photo of a participant showing how the Posture Screen Mobile app evaluates the horizontal tilt and inclination of the head, shoulders and hips from a frontal view.The craniovertebral angle (CVA) is a measurement of upper cervical posture obtained by calculating the angle between the ear tragus and a horizontal line passing through the spinous process of C7). KVA will be done with Posture Screen Mobile Phone application.Thoracic kyphosis is the anteroposterior curve of the thoracic spine in the sagittal plane and is defined using the Cobb angle.Thoracic kyphosis is the hunching of the spine in the upper back into an extreme external curve due to deformity.Lumbar lordosis is the natural inward curve of the spine in the lumbar region. It is an important anatomical feature that maintains the height of the discs in front of the lumbar vertebrae and ensures the stability of the spine.An artificial intelligence application called "Musclewiki" will be used for healthy adults to continue their exercise training at home. For 8 weeks, exercise will be practiced 3 times a week in the company of a physiotherapist, accompanied by a physiotherapist through artificial intelligence.
