About this study
Official title: Reliability of the Angle Measurement of the Software for Photogrammetry Postural Assessment
The present study aims to verify the reliability of intra and inter-examiner of angular measures proposed by SAPO postural assessment software. Methods: 24 subjects were photographed and three experienced examiners analyzed the images.
Read the detailed description
The body posture in the orthostatic position has been widely utilized as in the clinical practice as in the research, for the diagnosis and physiotherapy treatment planning. The photogrammetry has been used as a valuable resource for the physiotherapist's diagnosis and verification of measuring postural changes, but the lack of standardization of anatomic references, the used angles between them and their meaning embarrasses comparison among studies.
