Abstract

Nowadays, precise measurement technologies based on position sensors are needed for early diagnosis of posture disorders. It is aimed for healthcare professionals to use these technologies for screening purposes. In addition, following the results of the community-based screening program in the pilot regions and gathering the data obtained in a centralized system, making predictions about the country in general and the development of coefficients related to the sensitive measurement technology produced by age group, gender and body structure, and the sensitivity of posture disorders in health workers and society, it is aimed to create. The scientific report on the outputs of the project will be shared with health authorities, and sensitive and practical measurement technologies related to posture disorders, especially adolescent spine disorders, will be developed and recommendations for future strategies for a healthy generation will be made. The project will bring innovative insights into the musculoskeletal health screening programs of adolescents who are particularly at risk from spinal disorders with modern technologies and increasing cumulative trauma.
