AB  - Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate postural habits and awareness in individuals with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH). Material and Methods: 86 participants (44 participants with GJH and 42 participants without GJH) were included in the study. Generalized joint hypermobility was determined with the Beighton score, while postural awareness was evaluated with the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS). Results: In the three subscales of PHAS, postural habits and awareness, positional awareness, and ergonomic awareness scores were lower in individuals with GJH (p

N2  - Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Genel Eklem Hipermobilitesi (GEH) olan kişilerde postüral alışkanlık ve farkındalığın değerlendirilmesiydi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 86 katılımcı (GEH olan 44 katılımcı ve GEH olmayan 42 katılımcı) dahil edildi. GEH, Beighton skoruyla belirlenirken, postüral farkındalık Postüral Alışkanlık ve Farkındalık Ölçeği (PAFÖ) ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: PAFÖ'nün üç alt ölçeği olan, postüral alışkanlıklar ve farkındalık, pozisyonel farkındalık ve ergonomik farkındalık puanları GEH olan bireylerde daha düşüktü (p
