The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale in Fibromyalgia patients.
Postural Habit and Awareness Scale is a scale developed for healthy individuals. For this reason, when applying to any disease group, other parameters belonging to that disease group should also be evaluated. For this purpose, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Body Perception Scale, Body Awareness Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale and Short Form-12 questionnaires were also used in the study. Fibromyalgia is a disease that affects the whole body and generally causes pain and stiffness complaints. For this reason, the whole body should be evaluated. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire was used to define and indicate the level of fibromyalgia effects of the patients. For validity and reliability analyses, Body Perception Scale and Body Awareness Questionnaire questionnaires were used to compare the Postural Habit and Awareness scale. At the same time, Short Form-12 questionnaire was used to examine the patients' pain severity and the effects of the disease on daily life.
