Biomechanical Posture Analysis
摘要
Posture is the position of the human body, which resists the force of gravity and adapts to different environments and situations. Posture has a vital role in our daily lives. Its main task is to keep the musculoskeletal system in balance. The main reasons for doing a postural assessment are to gain information, save time, establish a baseline, and treat holistically. Many different methods are used in posture assessment. Visual observation methods, posture boards, goniometer, inclinometer, tape measure, symmetrical sensors, force plate, radiography, various static and dynamic posturography devices, photogrammetry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) are used in the analysis.
