Registered outcomes7
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Thoracic Joint Position Sense | 4 weeks | Thoracic proprioception will be assessed using a joint position reproduction test. Participants will actively reproduce a target position corresponding to 50% of their maximum thoracic extension with their eyes closed. The absolute angular error (degrees) between the target and reproduced position will be measured using an inclinometer positioned at the T4 vertebral level. Three trials will be performed, and the mean absolute error will be recorded. Lower values indicate better proprioceptive accuracy. |
| Primary | Muscle Tone | 4 weeks | Muscle tone will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device by measuring oscillation frequency (Hz). Measurements will be obtained from the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, thoracic erector spinae, pectoralis major, and pectoralis minor muscles at standardized anatomical locations. |
| Primary | Muscle Stiffness | 4 weeks | Dynamic muscle stiffness will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device and expressed in Newtons per meter (N/m). Measurements will be performed at standardized anatomical locations in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, thoracic erector spinae, pectoralis major, and pectoralis minor muscles. |
| Primary | Muscle Elasticity | 4 weeks | Muscle elasticity will be evaluated using the MyotonPRO device through logarithmic decrement, a dimensionless parameter reflecting the dissipation of mechanical oscillations. Lower logarithmic decrement values indicate greater muscle elasticity. Measurements will be obtained from the selected cervical, thoracic, and shoulder girdle muscles. |
| Secondary | Thoracic Kyphosis | 4 weeks | Thoracic kyphosis will be assessed using the Flexicurve method. The spinal curvature between C7 and T12 will be recorded in a standardized standing position, and the thoracic kyphosis angle (degrees) or kyphosis index will be calculated using standardized procedures. Lower values indicate reduced thoracic kyphosis. |
| Secondary | Craniovertebral Angle | 4 weeks | The craniovertebral angle will be measured using standardized lateral digital photographs obtained in a natural standing posture. The angle (degrees) between a horizontal line through C7 and a line connecting C7 to the tragus will be calculated. Higher values indicate improved head and cervical postural alignment. |
| Secondary | Wall-to-Occiput Distance | 4 weeks | Wall-to-occiput distance will be measured in centimeters while participants stand against a wall in a standardized position, maintaining a neutral head posture. The distance between the occiput and the wall will be measured three times, and the mean value will be recorded. Lower values indicate improved sagittal postural alignment. |
