Postural misalignment is a common musculoskeletal disorder among older adults. Malalignments in posture can lead to decreased mobility, higher fall risk, and lower quality of life. Traditional posture correction methods often apply a one-size-fits-all approach, overlooking individual needs and preferences. This paper introduces a person-centered model to improve postural alignment in elderly adults. This approach focuses on individualized assessments, personalized interventions, and active engagement. The goal is to increase adherence and effectiveness of the interventions by addressing physical, psychological, and social factors. Core elements of this model include thorough assessment, tailored exercise programs, psychological support, social involvement, and ongoing monitoring. It provides a holistic framework to tackle the specific challenges faced by elderly adults, fostering lasting improvements in posture and overall well-being.
