New approaches to identifying postural deviation in adolescence Literature review
Main Article Content
Abstract
The issues of improving postural deviations continue to be controversial. Exercise programs are effective in correcting postural deviations from adolescence. Method; Study sources and inclusion criteria are: Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science which were used as sources for collecting data for our investigation. The keywords used were; “posture”, “scoliosis”, “body position”, “deviations”, “exercises program”, “adolescents and adults”. The studies were selected in full and abstract from the last 10 years published in both English and Spanish based on our criteria. Results; From our database search, 115 studies were collected that were suitable for our needs based on the implementation of the study methodology, and after a more thorough evaluation, 27 full-text studies were finally selected as suitable for this review. Conclusion; The way we see and treat postural deviations is a fundamental aspect of our health care and well-being. An important aspect of this study is the use of rehabilitation therapy as part of an integrated medical plan. This review showed that the use of innovative methods in identifying postural deviations and rehabilitation therapy brings a significant improvement in the health and well-being of subjects.
