“…After 60 s, a third posture photo was taken. The following posture parameters were determined by means of the Corpus Concepts posture analysis software (AFG, Idar-Oberstein, Germany) for each posture state: posture index, upper body tilt, trunk tilt ( Krawczky et al., 2014 ; Ludwig et al., 2016a ; Stolinski et al., 2017 ). Figure 3 explains these posture parameters.…”

This study examined a potential age-dependency of both posture and stability (balance) control in children and adolescents in a healthy population. Body posture with open and closed eyes was examined for a total of 456 test persons (age 6.7–17.6 years. Posture parameters (posture index, upper body tilt, trunk tilt) were assessed in the sagittal plane. Additionally, the oscillation of the center of pressure with open and closed eyes was additionally analyzed in a sub-sample of 318 subjects. Absolute values of stability control parameters changed significantly during childhood and adolescence for both boys (p = 0.005) and girls (p = 0.01). Relative changes of stability and posture parameters when closing the eyes did not change (p > 0.05) and were independent of age, gender or sports activity in healthy children and adolescents. The shifting of the body segments towards each other, as a result of the loss of visual information, does not seem to be primarily responsible for the increase in COP fluctuation. This is a further indication that stability control and posture control are complex interdependent mechanisms whose interaction is not yet fully understood.

“…It is a trustworthy and easy-to-use instrument for researchers and clinicians that also contributes to the reduction of patient exposure to ionizing radiation. 19,20 In photogrammetry, some efforts have been made to improve this instrument, like standardization of procedures for data collection and processing of results. However, to the best of our knowledge there is no software capable of measuring the spinal inclination angle similarly to the Cobb angle.…”

“…However, to the best of our knowledge there is no software capable of measuring the spinal inclination angle similarly to the Cobb angle. 19 Using photogrammetry, de Souza et al 21 identified scoliosis in 68% of their evaluated participants. However, the concurrent validity and accuracy of the protocol and software used do not assure the trustworthiness of their results in comparison to the gold standard, the radiographic examination.…”

Objective: This prospective study aimed to assess the concurrent validity and diagnostic accuracy of a mathematical procedure for measurement of the spinal inclination angle, analogous to the Cobb angle, by means of photogrammetry. Methods: Sixty-one subjects (aged 7 to 18 years), male and female, underwent radiographic (Cobb angle) and photogrammetric (DIPA [Digital Image-based Postural Assessment] angle) evaluations. The measurement of spinal inclination angle obtained through photogrammetry followed the Digital Image-Based Postural Assessment software protocol. Concurrent validity was appraised using Spearman rank correlation, the coefficient of determination, the root-mean-square error, Bland-Altman plot analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis, adopting P .05. Results: The analyses were divided according to the topography of the scoliotic curve (thoracic, lumbar, or thoracolumbar). The correlations were excellent (from 0.72 to 0.81) and significant for all the regions of the spine, and the coefficients of determination ranged between 0.75 and 0.88. The root-mean-square error was between 5°and 11°, and the mean difference was very close to 0. The area under the curve was excellent and significant, ranging between 95% and 99%. Conclusion:The mathematical procedure presented is valid to evaluate the spinal inclination angle in photogrammetry, analogous to the Cobb angle in radiography. (

“…It is stated that posture screening mobile program can be used safely in posture analysis and head position can be evaluated with this technology (Boland Neufeld, Ruddell, Dolezal, & Cooper, 2016). Stolinski et al (2017) have demonstrated the reliability of photographic measurements by comparing the conventional posture measurement methods used with measurements done on photographs. The study to demonstrate the reliability and validity of mobile applications in postural analysis has proven their usefulness in clinical and field surveys (Szucs & Brown, 2018).…”

Posture is the most healthy and correct placement of each region in the body when compared to the whole body. The predominantly use of one side of the body disrupts the posture. A bad posture changes the center of gravity of the body and causes chronic skeletal and muscle soreness. It is aimed to determine whether there is a rehabilitative effect of football training that does not require the use of dominant arms on posture asymmetries which may occur in the basketball which requires the use of dominant arm and leg in the study.15 male basketball players who played basketball for an average of 8 years with a mean age of 21.7 ± 1.5 years participated as volunteers. Postures of the subjects were measured with PostureScreen Mobile® before and after 12 week football trainings with lateral and anteriorly taken photographs. SPSS 22 was used program for statistical analysis. While analyzing of data Wilcoxon Test method was used and it is determined as significance level was p<0.05.After 12 weeks of football training, statistically significant differences were found in measurements taken from the anterior and lateral positions on the head, shoulder, ribcage, hip, and knee measured tilts and shifts. Estimated average head weight decreased depending on the posture of the cervical vertebrae and a significant difference was detected. Postures of subjects came close to the correct posture.Basketball is an acycle sport branch that requires the use of muscles on the dominant side. It creates an asymmetric position on the athlete due to this feature; causes shifting and tilts. In order to eliminate postural disorders that occur, the effectiveness of football training that does not require to use of the dominant side of the body has been demonstrated.
