Genel Eklem Hipermobilitesi Olan Genç Erişkinlerde Postüral Alışkanlıkların ve Farkındalığın Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

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<0,05). Postürü bozan faktörlerin farkındalığı alt testindeki puanlar GEH grubu lehine daha yüksekti (p<0,05). Tartışma: Postüral alışkanlık ve farkındalık sonuçları, eklem hipermobilitesi olan 18-25 yaş arası genç bireylerde GEH olanlara göre anlamlı derecede farklıydı. Genel eklem hipermobilitesi olan bireylerde postüral egzersizler ve postür eğitimi, postüral farkındalığın geliştirilmesinde faydalı olabilir.

Evaluation of Postural Habits and Awareness in Young Adults with Generalized Joint Hypermobility

Öz

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<0.05). The GJH group had higher scores in the awareness of factors disrupting posture subtest (p<0.05). Discussion: Postural habits and awareness results were significantly different in young individuals aged 18-25 with joint hypermobility compared to those without GJH. Postural exercises and posture re-education of individuals with generalized joint hypermobility may be beneficial in the development of postural awareness.
