THE USE OF TWO DIFFERENT SMARTPHONE APPLICATIONS IN MEASURING SAGITTAL SPINAL CURVATURE

Sponsor: Ahi Evran University Education and Research Hospital

Summary

This study will include healthy volunteers aged 18-25 years. Demographic information will be recorded, and an experienced physiotherapist will mark five reference points on the spine of the participants, starting from the cervical spine and extending to the lumbar spine. Angle measurements will then be taken from these five reference points using a gravity inclinometer, an Android smartphone, and an iOS phone. Measurements will be repeated twice on the same day and twice again 24-48 hours later using three different devices. The accuracy and similarity of the measurements taken with these three devices will then be compared.
