Evaluation of a posture tracking system

چکیده
Background Spinal deviations usually refer to abnormal lateral or sagittal curvature that could be the cause or effect of some spinal diseases. The conventional orthotic intervention is to apply passive forces to a patient's body with an orthosis for supporting and controlling the trunk alignments. However, once the orthosis is removed, such functions cannot be maintained. Therefore, an active posture training approach is proposed for suitable clinical cases, as it can keep the trunk in appropriate posture using the patient's own back muscles, and a long-lasting effect is anticipated.

متن کاملDevelopment and validation of a novel rating system for scoring standing foot posture: the Foot Posture Index.
INTRODUCTION The limitations of clinical methods for appraising foot posture are well documented. A new measure, the Foot Posture Index is proposed, and its development and validation described. METHODS A four-phase development process was used: (i) to derive a series of candidate measures, (ii) to define an appropriate scoring system, (iii) to evaluate the validity of components and modify t...
