Summary

This study is testing whether a new questionnaire, called the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS), reliably measures how aware people with postural hyperkyphosis (rounded upper back) are of their posture. 128 participants will fill out the questionnaire twice, two weeks apart, to see if the results are consistent. The goal is to provide doctors with a simple, reliable tool to assess postural awareness in clinical practice and future rehabilitation studies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the questionnaire proves reliable, doctors may have a simple tool to assess and track postural awareness in patients with rounded upper back.
What could go wrong
This is an early, small observational study focused on measurement, not treatment. The questionnaire may not be accurate for all patients or settings.
