Translation and validation of the polish version of the self-reported postural awareness scale in an adult sample.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Body awareness has gained increasing attention in research as a crucial link between psychological and somatic processes, offering tangible benefits for physical health and well-being. This study aimed to validate and culturally adapt the Polish version of the Postural Awareness Scale (PAS) in adults aged 20-70. Methods: The relationships between the two PAS subscales: Ease/Familiarity with Postural Awareness and Need for Attention Regulation with Postural Awareness, and chronic stress levels (measured by the Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10), as well as gender, age, and family status (individuals in permanent relationships versus singles), were explored. The factor structure was tested by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results and discussion: A total of 333 healthy participants (mean age: 36.74 ± 19.7 years; 76% female) completed the study. Cultural adaptation of the PAS required the removal of one item, resulting in an 11-item Polish version with strong internal consistency (Crohnbach's α: 0.80-0.82) and psychometric properties comparable to the original German version. Multi-group analyses confirmed metric equivalence of the scale across age, gender, and family status. A negative correlation was observed between PAS scores and perceived stress (PSS-10), while no significant associations were found with gender or family status. Older participants exhibited higher scores on the Ease/Familiarity with Postural Awareness subscale. These findings suggest that the Polish version of the PAS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing postural awareness in diverse adult populations, with potential applications in research and clinical practice.
