Postural Profiles of Elite-Level Folk Dancers: A Cross-Sectional Analysis Using Digital Assessment Tools

Öz

The aim of this study was to examine the postural alignment of 82 elite-level folk dancers who have been professionally active in Istanbul for at least five years. Postural assessments were conducted using the “Posture Screen Mobile” application. Parameters such as total side shift, lateral tilt, shoulder alignment, and pelvic alignment were analyzed. The results indicate that folk dancers tend to exhibit symmetrical alignment, especially in the shoulder and pelvic regions. These findings suggest that regular engagement in folk dancing may positively contribute to postural balance and structural alignment.
