About this study
Official title: Investigation of 8-Week Artificial Intelligence Based Structured Exercise Program in Healthy Adults
Posture is defined as the arrangement or orientation of body parts in relation to each other.In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of an 8-week artificial intelligence-based structured exercise program in healthy adults. It performs measurements on frontal and lateral images of the individual in normal posture Photo of a participant showing how the Posture Screen Mobile app evaluates the horizontal tilt and inclination of the head, shoulders and hips from a frontal view.The craniovertebral angle (CVA) is a measurement of upper cervical posture obtained by calculating the angle between the ear tragus and a horizontal line passing through the spinous process of C7). KVA will be done with Posture Screen Mobile Phone application.Thoracic kyphosis is the anteroposterior curve of the thoracic spine in the sagittal plane and is defined using the Cobb angle.Thoracic kyphosis is the hunching of the spine in the upper back into an extreme external curve due to deformity.An artificial intelligence application called "Musclewiki" will be used for healthy adults to continue their exercise training at home. For 8 weeks, exercise will be practiced 3 times a week in the company of a physiotherapist, accompanied by a physiotherapist through artificial intelligence.
Read the detailed description
Posture is defined as the arrangement or orientation of body parts in relation to each other. This alignment depends on the effect of gravity, muscle tension and the integrity of the bony structures. Posture disorders, which are now common among healthy young adults, are caused by a number of factors that have emerged in combination with the effects of modern lifestyle.In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of an 8-week artificial intelligence-based structured exercise program in healthy adults. It performs measurements on frontal and lateral images of the individual in normal posture Photo of a participant showing how the Posture Screen Mobile app evaluates the horizontal tilt and inclination of the head, shoulders and hips from a frontal view.The craniovertebral angle (CVA) is a measurement of upper cervical posture obtained by calculating the angle between the ear tragus and a horizontal line passing through the spinous process of C7). KVA will be done with Posture Screen Mobile Phone application.Thoracic kyphosis is the anteroposterior curve of the thoracic spine in the sagittal plane and is defined using the Cobb angle.Thoracic kyphosis is the hunching of the spine in the upper back into an extreme external curve due to deformity.Lumbar lordosis is the natural inward curve of the spine in the lumbar region. It is an important anatomical feature that maintains the height of the discs in front of the lumbar vertebrae and ensures the stability of the spine.An artificial intelligence application called "Musclewiki" will be used for healthy adults to continue their exercise training at home. For 8 weeks, exercise will be practiced 3 times a week in the company of a physiotherapist, accompanied by a physiotherapist through artificial intelligence.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 8 week artificial intelligence based posture exercises in people with Health Behavior, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Tezel Y Şahan, phD (5056615279 ext. +90, fzttezel@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
craniovertebral angle measurement (time frame: before- after 8 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06508294, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2025.
