Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Lumbopelvic motor performance. Timepoint: Measurements will be conducted at the beginning of the study, after the 12-week intervention protocol, and following a 12-week follow-up period. Method of measurement: To assess the motor performance of the lumbopelvic-hip complex, the Abduction Drop (Ober) test, Extension Drop (Thomas) test, trunk rotation range of motion, and hip joint range of motion tests are used.;Lumbopelvic hip kinematic parameters. Timepoint: Measurements will be conducted at the beginning of the study, after the 12-week intervention protocol, and following a 12-week follow-up period. Method of measurement: To evaluate certain kinematic parameters of the lumbopelvic-hip complex, the Standing Reach test, Full Squat test, and a motion analysis system based on IMU sensors are utilized.;Spinal deviation angle. Timepoint: Measurements will be conducted at the beginning of the study, after the 12-week intervention protocol, and following a 12-week follow-up period. Method of measurement: Spinal deviation angle will be assessed by Cobb angle using spinal photogrammetry from the posterior view and trunk rotation measured using a scoliometer during the Adams test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Quality of life. Timepoint: Measurements will be conducted at the beginning of the study, after the 12-week intervention protocol, and following a 12-week follow-up period. Method of measurement: SRS-22 questionnaire.;Spinal and pelvic girdle pain. Timepoint: Measurements will be conducted at the beginning of the study, after the 12-week intervention protocol, and following a 12-week follow-up period. Method of measurement: SRS-22 questionnaire.
