"ABSTRACT. Background. A balanced posture allows sports movements
PERFORMANCE with optimal consumption of energy and minimal stress on the
musculoskeletal system with of the technology offered by the posturograph, we
can identify the center of gravity deviations, the points of support, the load, the
weight distribution in the soles, the anterior posteriorized or compressed
posture, the asymmetries of the body. by an interpretation in biomechanical
context, any compensations or decompensations can be identified. Aim. The
aim of the study is to improve posture through biofeedback treatment using
the GPS 600 device. Materials. The Posturograph or Global Postural System
(GPS) is an advanced postural analysis system that uses techniques and
methods of noninvasive diagnosis and evaluation in the field of medical
recovery. Posturography includes 2 diagnostic units and software. Methods.
We used the following methods: bibliographic study methods, method of
observation, measurement method, experimental method, statistical method.
Applied treatments. The treatments for re-educating the posture with the GPS
600 device took place for 2 weeks. During the treatment, the subjects had to
maintain their body position / posture as indicated by the device. Results.
From the 12 athletes, the anteriority of the head improved, the center of
gravity, loading on the right and left lower limbs. At the end of the 2 weeks, the
athletes reached a perfect balance of the center of gravity and the weight
distribution on the lower limbs. Conclusion. Biofeedback treatments with the
GPS 600 device help to improve POSTURE and maintain the results over time."
