Posture, body awareness, and physical function in women across weight categories
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how posture, body awareness, and daily physical functioning differ among women of various body sizes (based on BMI). If you join, you'll answer questionnaires and complete simple movement tests to help researchers understand these connections, with the aim of improving care for women of all sizes.
