Photographic Posture Assessment |
To take pictures of the participants, the camera (Logitech, Switzerland) was placed on a tripod with a height of 115 cm and at a distance of 1.5 m (33). In order to maintain the same distance between the camera and the participants, a spot on the ground was marked for the subjects to stand, and the tripod was fixed to the ground. The photos were taken of the left side of the subjects in standing position. Before photographing, reflective markers were placed on the lateral canthus, tragus, 7th cervical vertebra, and acromion. During the photography, the subjects were asked to stand in a comfortable position as in daily life. |

Cranio-horizontal angle (Before) |
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and CH angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study. This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the tragus and the line drawn from the tragus to the lateral canthus of the eye. It provides information about the position of the head above the neck and the location of the upper cervical spine. |

Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and CH angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study. This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the tragus and the line drawn from the tragus to the lateral canthus of the eye. It provides information about the position of the head above the neck and the location of the upper cervical spine. |

Craniovertebral angle (before) |
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and CV angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study.This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the 7th cervical vertebra and the line drawn from the 7th cervical vertebra to the tragus . The CV angle provides information about the position of the lower cervical region and is used in the objective evaluation of FHP. |

Sagittal shoulder posture angle ( Before) |
Photographs were analysed using the "ImageJ" program and SSP angle were calculated and data were recorded. This procedure was performed by a researcher blinded to the study.This is the angle between the horizontal line drawn from the acromion and the line connecting the acromion to the 7th cervical vertebra. This assessment provides information about the position of the shoulder |

Thoracic kyphosis angle (Before) |
TK angle was measured with a dual digital inclinometer (JTech IQ Pro™, USA). Participants were asked to stand in a relaxed position. The dual inclinometer device was placed over the spinous processes of the 1st thoracic vertebra and the 12th thoracic vertebra. The measured angle was recorded as the TK angle. |
