[Purpose] Poor posture in children and adolescents is a well-known problem. Therefore, early detection of incorrect posture is important. Photometric posture analysis is a cost-efficient and easy method, but needs reliable reference values. As children’s posture changes as they grow, the assessment needs to be age-specific. This study aimed to investigate the development of both one-dimensional posture parameter (body inclination angle) and complex parameter (posture index) in different age groups (childhood to adolescence). [Subjects and Methods] The participants were 372 symptom-free children and adolescents (140 girls and 232 boys aged 6–17). Images of their habitual posture were obtained in the sagittal plane. High-contrast marker points and marker spheres were placed on anatomical landmarks. Based on the marker points, the body inclination angle (INC) and posture index (PI) were calculated using the Corpus concepts software. [Results] The INC angle significantly increased with age. The PI did not change significantly among the age groups. No significant differences between the corresponding age groups were found for PI and INC for both sexes. [Conclusion] When evaluating posture using the body inclination angle, the age of the subject needs to be considered. Posture assessment with an age-independent parameter may be more suitable.

“…One of the most widely used methods for assessing human posture deviations is visual inspection and palpation [28]. This method is highly subjective and assessor-dependent [29,30] and has low reliability and reproducibility, which makes its application in the scientific environment not recommendable [7]. To minimize biases produced by this analysis, new methods of postural assessment have been developed [31], which are based on tools to assist in manual assessment, digital tools, radiography methods [32,33] and computer-based solutions.…”

“…Human posture based on alignment of the body in the sagittal and coronal plane contributes to kinetic and functional changes not only locally but also throughout the osteomioarticular chain, compromising the functional health of the population [7]. By considering the relevance of postural alignment for the maintenance of body functional kinetic balance [8] and the increasing number of proposals for postural assessment based on the analysis of sagittal and coronal alignment, researchers have proposed methods that include other resources besides inspection and palpation [9].…”

“…For example, biophotogrammetry is explored in [10][11][12]. Researchers have also investigated reference values for postural alignment [7] and compared them by analyzing their applicability, similarities and differences [13]. Among the reviews involving postural assessment methods, we highlight the studies by Porto et al [14] and Aroeira et al [15], which conducted reviews on computational methods for postural assessment.…”

Mobile Applications for Assessing Human Posture: A Systematic Literature Review

Smartphones are increasingly incorporated with features such as sensors and high resolution cameras that empower their capabilities, enabling their use for varied activities including human posture assessments. Previous reviews have discussed methods used in postural assessment but none of them focused exclusively on mobile applications. This paper systematically reviews mobile applications proposed for analyzing human posture based on alignment of the body in the sagittal and coronal plane. The main digital libraries were searched, 26 articles published between 2010 and 2020 were selected, and 13 mobile applications were identified, classified and discussed. Results showed that the use of mobile applications to assist with posture assessment have been demonstrated to be reliable, and this can contribute to clinical practice of health professionals, especially the assessment and reassessment phases of treatments, despite some variations when compared to traditional methods. Moreover, in the case of image-based applications, we highlight the advantage that measurements can be taken with the assessor at a certain distance with respect to the patient’s position, which is an important function for assessments performed in pandemic times such as the outbreak of COVID-19.

“…These categories are visual observation, goniometry, photographic, radiographs, electromagnetic tracking, as well as the plumb line method. Singla and Vegar 12 and Rossario 11 both found that visual observation is the most generally used method to assess posture in clinical practice. Limitations of the visual observation method are that quantitative data cannot be obtained, and minor postural alterations cannot be detected.…”

Free State radiations, which promotes the use of non-invasive methods for the measurement of postural variables. Singla and Vegar 12 argues that the advancement of photographic method and its use as a method for postural evaluation is indisputable. This method has been compared with the visual observation method, goniometry and radiography and Singla and Vigar 12 and Rossario 11 recommend the use of the photogrammetric method for future studies that focus on posture evaluation. Consistent with contemporary validity and reliability theories, the performance of a new instrument needs to be evaluated in terms of accuracy, correctness or conformity as it relates to the true context 13 and value that is being measured 14 , as well as the consistency reflected in the measurements using the same instrument 15,16. The objectives of the current study were therefore to: (i) develop a Photographic Method of Postural Assessment (P-MPA) that quantitatively measures postural alignment, (ii) test the P-MPA in terms of the accuracy of measurements between anatomical landmarks and the line of gravity, representing validity, and (iii) test the P-MPA in terms of reproducibility, representing reliability 15. Two of the 3 types of validity as suggested by The Consensus Based Standards group for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN group) 17 were considered in the study of the P-MPA namely content validity which includes face validity, and construct validity which includes structural validity. The COSMIN group 18 regards reliability as a key measurement property of a measurement instrument and refers to consistency as
