Objectives
Narrative objectives1
To identify common upper- and lower-body postural deviations among primary school students using PostureScreen Mobile and to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based gamified corrective exercise programme in improving selected postural alignment parameters through pre- and post-intervention assessments.

Assessment
Primary outcomes
Change in selected primary postural alignment measure assessed using PostureScreen Mobile from baseline (pre-intervention) to immediately after completion of the gamified corrective exercise programme.
Key secondary outcomes
Changes in selected secondary upper- and lower-body postural alignment parameters measured using PostureScreen Mobile at baseline and immediately after completion of the gamified corrective exercise programme.

Interventions/Control_1
Participants randomized to the intervention group will undergo a supervised school-based gamified corrective exercise programme conducted three times weekly for 8 weeks, comprising 24 sessions lasting approximately 20 to 40 minutes each. The programme will include age-appropriate corrective exercises delivered through interactive games and group activities, focusing on postural awareness, trunk control, and upper and lower body alignment. Postural alignment will be assessed using PostureScreen Mobile at baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention.
Interventions/Control_2
Participants randomized to the active control group will perform supervised, age-appropriate light stretching exercises during the study period. The control group will not participate in the gamified corrective exercise programme. Postural alignment will be assessed using PostureScreen Mobile at baseline and immediately after completion of the eight-week study period.
