Brief summary

this study aims to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation with web-based exercises on postural deformities in individuals with postural problems. This randomized controlled study is planned to include 40 individuals. The individuals will be university students between the ages of 18-25. The students will be divided into two groups: home exercise program and telerehabilitation group. Exercises will be applied to both groups 3 times a week for 6 weeks.

Detailed description

Objective: Recent studies have shown that the use of telerehabilitation in different areas can result in significant clinical gains. The effect of telerehabilitation on head forward posture, thoracic hyperkyphosis and lumbar hyperlordosis is not yet fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation with web-based exercises on postural deformities in individuals with postural problems. Method: This randomized controlled study is planned to include 40 individuals. The individuals will be university students between the ages of 18-25. The students will be divided into two groups: home program and telerehabilitation group. Exercises will be applied to both groups 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Individuals with postural problems will be evaluated for craniovertebral, kyphosis and lordosis angles, shortness of hamstring and pectoral muscles and trunk endurance. Craniovertebral, kyphosis and lordosis angles will be evaluated with the "Clinometer + Buble" application, muscle shortness will be evaluated with muscle shortness tests, and trunk endurance will be evaluated with trunk endurance tests.
