| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Ability to walk (includes: distance traveled, walking speed and walking efficiency.). Timepoint: First, the relevant tests are taken from the subjects in the first session before the intervention, and after 8 weeks of the intervention (which includes orthosis with exercise therapy or exercise therapy alone (control group)), individuals are asked to refer to the center again and the tests Will be taken. Method of measurement: distance traveled (2- MWT) Two minutes of walking The maximum distance traveled is recorded (meters)/Walking speed (10-MWT) 10 meters A person walks. Time will be recorded in this distance. (M / s)/Walking efficiency (EMS) includes 7 functional dimensions that are examined in the person and will be given a score of 20 (score).;Energy consumption. Timepoint: Energy consumption of individuals is recorded in the first session before the intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention (orthosis with exercise therapy or exercise therapy alone (control group)) people are asked to refer to the center and record energy consumption. Method of measurement: Using the polar electro device, the heart rate at rest and activity is recorded and the amount of energy consumption is calculated in the physiological cost index formula.;Thoracic kyphosis angle. Timepoint: The Thoracic kyphosis angle will be recorded in the first session before the intervention. After 8 weeks of intervention (orthosis with therapeutic exercise or exercise therapy alone (control group)) again, individuals are asked to refer to the center and record the angle. Method of measurement: It will be recorded using a kyphometer device. | — |
