“…Five studies [25,26,29,33] did not describe the reliability of the tools used in the study, while two studies offered a questionable description of the tools' reliability [31,36]. All studies but one [32] described their clinical implications. Finally, three studies did not mention limitations [22,26,33].…”

“…The following methods and tools were used to assess body posture: SpinalMouse [8, 21 -24], occiput-to-wall distance (OWD) [25 -27], method using 1.7 cm blocks [28], flexicurve ruler [29,30], Cobb angle [24,26,27], photogrammetry/Moiré method [31], method with photographic recording [32] and digital inclinometer [33]. Foot posture was assessed using the Foot Posture Index (FPI) [34,35], which tests foot characteristics across six domains: foot posture, foot deformity and lesions, plantar tactile sensation, toe muscle strength and foot pain, and a three-dimensional foot scanner (Footstep PRO, Dream GP Company, Japan) [36].…”

“…Body balance was assessed using more accurate methods of measurement, such as stabilometry, force plate [14,21,22,24,29,36], and functional tests such as the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test [8, 23, 32 -35], functional reach (FR) [8], Berg Balance Scale (BBS) [30], one-led stance [23,32,33], Four-Square Step Test (FSST) [34,35] and feet-together stance, semitandem and tandem standing [25].

Postural changes versus balance control and falls in community-living older adults: a systematic review

et al. 2018

Introduction: Since falls are considered to be a public health problem, it is important to identify whether postural changes over time contribute to the risk of falls in older adults. Objective: To investigate whether postural changes increase fall risk and/or postural imbalance in healthy, community-dwelling older adults. Methods: In April 2016, two reviewers independently searched the PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and CINAHL databases for studies in English published in the previous 10 years, using the following combined keywords: "posture" or ("kyphosis","lumbar lordosis","flexed posture","spinal curvature","spinal sagittal contour") AND "elderly" AND "fall". Study quality was assessed according to the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines for observational studies. Results: The search retrieved 1,734 articles. Only observational studies that assessed posture, balance, and/or falls in older adults were considered eligible for review. The final sample included 17 articles: reliability and reproducibility of the instruments were not reported in five studies, while two studies offered a questionable description of the instruments used.

“…1,2 Hyperkyphosis leads to worsened gait patterns and balance, lowers Activity of Daily Living (ADL), and causes a decline in lung function. [3][4][5][6] Given that age-related spinal postural alignment abnormalities, including hyperkyphosis, progress temporally, it is important to measure the posture repeatedly and provide preventive and appropriate intervention guidance. In Japan, the aging population is increasing rapidly, and extending healthy life expectancy is important.…”

Background: A device that can measure posture alignment repeatedly is important for the prevention of hyperkyphosis. Objective: We devised a markerless measurement method for hyperkyphosis using digital photography and investigated the correlation with other noninvasive measurements and the validity and accuracy of this method. Methods: The study included 27 participants. The craniovertebral angle in supine (CVAS) and craniohorizontal angle in supine (CHAS) were calculated from digital photographs of the head and neck areas of the studied subjects with ImageJ. The correlations of CVAS and CHAS with the kyphosis index (KI) and block method (BM) were investigated. Intrarater correlation coefficient and Bland–Altman analyses were used to verify the reliability and accuracy of the measured results. Results: CHAS exhibited an excellent correlation with the KI and the BM. The intra- and interrater reliabilities of CHAS were almost perfect. Bland–Altman analysis revealed that CHAS was associated with minor addition errors. Conclusion: CHAS founded an excellent correlation and reliability with the conventional spinal postural alignment measurements. The addition error suggested that the manual was needed to confirm the landmark. The CHAS is a method used to measure the spinal postural alignment in a supine position without markers and without exposing the skin surface.

“…A common problem related to aging is the change in the body posture 4 . These changes are inevitable, occur over the years, change the normal curvature of the spine, cause misalignments, affecting living habits 5,6 , and may cause difficulties in balance and locomotion 7 , and frequent falls 8 . Considering that, several types of body practices aim to provide a healthy lifestyle to the elderly, and Pilates method (PM) is one of them 9 .…”

Método Pilates na comunidade: efeito sobre a postura corporal de idosas

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito do método Pilates (MP) na postura de idosas em uma comunidade. Realizou-se um ensaio clínico controlado, não randomizado, em amostra de 40 idosas de idades entre 60 e 80 anos, divididas igualmente em Grupo Pilates (GP) e Grupo Controle (GC). Os grupos responderam questionário sociodemográfico e foram avaliados, em momentos pré e pós-intervenção, utilizando biofotogrametria, a partir do software SAPO. O GP executou um protocolo de 12 exercícios do MP, duas vezes por semana, durante 50 minutos, por 12 semanas. Realizou-se análise estatística não paramétrica aplicando-se o teste U Mann-Whitney com valor p<0,05 para significância. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que, na visão anterior, no momento antes da intervenção, a distância entre os acrômios, epicôndilos e processo estiloide foram menores no GC, em relação ao GP. Verificou-se que após a intervenção não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos. Na visão posterior observou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa nas variáveis: distância do ângulo superior (p=0,01) e inferior da escápula (p=0,02) do GP em relação ao GC. Concluiu-se que o MP promoveu efeito positivo em algumas variáveis do perfil postural de idosas, podendo ser empregado em grupos de práticas corporais comunitárias.
