This research aims to examine the effects of an 8-week artificial intelligence-based structured exercise program on posture in healthy adults aged 18 to 25 years. Posture is the arrangement of body parts relative to each other, influenced by gravity, muscle tension, and bone structure. The study focuses on common posture disorders in young adults and uses measurements like the craniovertebral angle, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis to assess changes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will perform exercises guided by an artificial intelligence application called Musclewiki alongside a physiotherapist, practicing three times a week for 8 weeks. The other group will not perform any exercise during this period. Posture measurements will be taken before and after the 8-week program using a mobile app to evaluate angles related to head, shoulder, and spine alignment. During the study, participants will have posture assessments using frontal and lateral images analyzed by the Posture Screen Mobile app. The primary outcome is the change in craniovertebral angle after 8 weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angles. The study will monitor participants throughout the 8-week period, with evaluations before and after the intervention to understand the exercise programs impact on posture.
