What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Posture and Postural Ability Scale - T0	Posture and Postural Ability Scale pre-intervention (PPAS pre). Score from 0 to 7, and the higher the score, the better posture	pre-intervention
Posture and Postural Ability Scale - T1	Posture and Postural Ability Scale post-intervention (PPAS post). Score from 0 to 7, and the higher the score, the better posture	at 10 days
Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control - T0	Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control pre-intervention (SATco pre). Score from 1 to 7, and the lower the score, the better balance	pre-intervention
Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control - T1	Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control post-intervention (SATco post).Score from 1 to 7, and the lower the score, the better balance	at 10 days
