Anteroposterior perception of the trunk position while seated without the feet touching the floor.

Study included only 14 healthy young adults, so findings may not apply to older adults, children, or those with neurological or musculoskeletal conditions. The test was conducted with feet off the floor, which is not a common functional sitting posture, limiting direct generalization to typical seated activities. The range tested was limited to -15° to 15°; perception at more extreme angles was not evaluated. This was a basic science study measuring proprioceptive accuracy, not a clinical trial testing an intervention's efficacy.

No conflicts of interest or funding sources were reported in the provided text.

Do not interpret the better accuracy at extreme positions as evidence that those postures are more stable or functional. The study measured proprioceptive reproduction error in a specific, unsupported sitting condition; it does not prove that leaning far forward or backward is a preferred or safer position for clinical populations.
