Abstract
In this study, students' spines were examined with the Spinal Mouse device.. First, fifth and eighth grade students studying at Van Vakıfbank primary and secondary school in the 2018-2019 academic year were selected as subjects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of the measurements by performing posture analysis with the Spinal Mouse device. 86 first-grade students (39 girls-47 boys), 119 fifth-grade students (58 girls-61 boys) and 101 eighth-grade students (53 girls-48 boys) were selected. Measurements were taken for posture evaluation in extension, flexion and erect positions by three different researchers using a Spinal Mouse device. Sacral kyphosis (SK), lumbar lordosis (LL), and thoracal kyphosis (TK) angle measurements of students in a certain age group (7, 11, 14) were determined with a Spinal Mouse device while they were standing. Normal values of continuous measurement values discussed in the study were determined by applying the Shapin-Wilk (n
