Postural Analysis / Assessment Postural Analysis / Assessment can be defined as the evaluation of various body parts of an
individual in a position in an integrated manner in relation to ideal posture. Posture can be assessed
in static as well as while performing sporting activities (dynamic) with modern techniques.
Postural assessment forms the very basic of Physiotherapy The moment the patient walks into the clinic, postural assessments starts there and then. Posture analysis is an important tool that helps assess the reasons behind various sports
injuries and life-style related problems. The deviation from normal posture puts stress on structures that maintain the normal alignment of the neck, back, upper and lower limbs.
There are several methods of Postural analysis in Physiotherapy, some of them are mentioned below.
Visual observation method This is the commonest method used for postural analysis in clinical practice. It has the advantage that it doesn’t require any equipment though quantitative analysis is not possible in this method. Thus, minor postural alterations cannot be detected. Major postural deviations can be easily identified with this method and correctional measures can be undertaken.
Plumb Line Method This is again a common method used for postural assessment. A plumb line is used for posture evaluation. The physiotherapist looks for deviation from the ideal alignment inside and back views, with a plumb line being placed along the midline of the body. The disadvantage associated with this method is again it cannot provide quantitative data of deviation from normal. Fig. – The plumb line corresponds with the line of gravity (the red color vertical line) as shown in the picture and landmarks it should ideally pass through in a normal well-aligned posture. Any deviation from this is considered abnormal.
