“…Eventually, on both feet, a larger Pmax on the Rf area (left = 67.3 KPa; right = 63.3 KPa) with respect to the Ff one was found in agreement with [ 29 ], while a larger Pmean in Ff with respect to other two regions was found with a median value of 59.1 KPa on the left side and 69.9 KPa on the right one. Finally, normal median values of CoPsa (28.8 mm2), LSF (4.7 m−1), and CP speed (3.4 mm/s) in OE condition confirmed the normal 244 range values found in [ 30 , 31 , 32 ], respectively, in healthy, young subjects.…”

“…Moreover, on each side, a larger load on the Ff (43%) with respect to the Mf and Rf was found in accordance with [ 18 ]. Previous studies [ 23 , 24 , 29 , 30 ] analysed Rf and Ff data exclusively, and with this subdivision, a largest Rf load was found. Eventually, on both feet, a larger Pmax on the Rf area (left = 67.3 KPa; right = 63.3 KPa) with respect to the Ff one was found in agreement with [ 29 ], while a larger Pmean in Ff with respect to other two regions was found with a median value of 59.1 KPa on the left side and 69.9 KPa on the right one.…”

Background: Postural stability and plantar pressure parameters can be assessed by baropodometry; nevertheless, they are often affected by low repeatability. The aim of the study was to test the accuracy and repeatability of a novel resistive sensor pressure plate and to establish the most reliable baropodometric parameters. Methods: Accuracy and repeatability of the FM12050 BTS-Bioengineering plate measurements were assessed by using different weights in static conditions across three sessions. Subsequently, 20 healthy subjects were assessed by 30-s stabilometric analysis in bipedal standing with open eyes across four trials in two sessions, morning and afternoon. Results: Pressure plate repeatability in measuring the static weights was very high, and plate measurements were correlated to the scale measurements (Pearson’s coefficient = 0.99). Percentage of load distribution between left and right foot and in rearfoot and forefoot regions showed the largest repeatability (coefficient of variation < 5%) across trials. Eventually, median and percentiles (25–75%) were reported for each parameter. Conclusions: This study helped to assess the accuracy and repeatability of a novel pressure plate in static conditions and to define the most reliable parameters for the assessment of postural stability and foot morphology. The present healthy-subject stabilometric dataset may be used as reference data in the evaluation of pathological populations.

“…Many publications have confirmed the positive effect of sports on body posture and the shaping of spine curves [7,8]. On the other hand, researchers have reported negative consequences of asymmetric physical activity for various elements of the body posture [5,11,13,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. There is also scientific evidence that indicates in the last decade a worldwide increase in the percentage of posture defects and abnormal spine curvatures in children and adolescents worldwide, regardless of physical activity [14][15][16][30][31][32].…”

“…Increasing deviations within the spine may lead in the future to back pain and may increase the risk of injuries and overload the musculoskeletal system [6]. The literature indicates both the positive effect of increased physical activity on health [7][8][9] as well as the risk of posture asymmetry and pain in the lower back of the spine of children who practice sports such as volleyball, athletics, team sports, martial arts and gymnastics [10][11][12][13].…”

(1) Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shape of the spine curves in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar sections of children that practice selected sports. (2) Methods: The body posture of the examined children was assessed using the digital photography method, i.e., the Moiré method. Selected parameters characterizing the curvature of the spine (the Alpha, Beta and Gamma angles, the size of kyphosis in the thoracic spine and the size of lordosis in the lumbar spine) were analyzed. (3) Results: The study of the body posture using the Moiré method allowed for the assessment of the angles that determine the size of the spine’s curvature. The analysis of differences among the groups included in the study (football, swimming, biathlon/taekwondo, volleyball) was carried out on the basis of one-dimensional models that take into account the distributions of individual parameters. On the basis of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma angles, it was possible to calculate the size of kyphosis in the thoracic section and the size of lordosis in the lumbar spine. There was a statistically significant difference in the size of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma parameters among the groups. (4) Conclusions: Most of the respondents had the correct body posture in the sagittal plane, regardless of the type of sport they practiced. Our results did not allow us to unequivocally state whether practicing various sports and having different training loads resulting from these sports have a negative or positive effect on the size of the anterior–posterior curvatures of the spine.

“…PCS acts continuously both in static and dynamic phases, guaranteeing balance in the most unstable postural conditions [ 3 ]; however, its precise functioning may be affected by age, cognitive–motor factors and organic pathologies [ 4 ], therefore an accurate postural analysis may be useful during medical diagnostic–therapeutic process. Posture can be evaluated by clinical and instrumental methods: while the former is greatly prone to inter-operator variability, the latter allows the quantification of any postural elements, such as postural stability [ 2 ], morphology and symmetry [ 5 ] of musculoskeletal districts and/or plantar pressures in static and dynamic conditions. The gold standard for the three-dimensional analysis of whole-body posture in standing and during various motor tasks is 3D stereophotogrammetry [ 6 ].…”

Posture can be evaluated by clinical and instrumental methods. Three-dimensional motion analysis is the gold standard for the static and dynamic postural assessment. Conventional stereophotogrammetric protocols are used to assess the posture of pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, trunk (considered as a single segment) and rarely head and upper limbs during walking. A few studies also analyzed the multi-segmental trunk and whole-body kinematics. Aim of our study was to evaluate the sagittal spine and the whole-body during walking in healthy subjects by 3D motion analysis using a new marker set. Fourteen healthy subjects were assessed by 3D-Stereophotogrammetry using the DB-Total protocol. Excursion Range, Absolute Excursion Range, Average, intra-subject Coefficient of Variation (CV) and inter-subject Standard Deviation Average (SD Average) of eighteen new kinematic parameters related to sagittal spine and whole-body posture were calculated. The analysis of the DB-Total parameters showed a high intra-subject (CV < 50%) and a high inter-subject (SD Average < 1) repeatability for the most of them. Kinematic curves and new additional values were reported. The present study introduced new postural values characterizing the sagittal spinal and whole-body alignment of healthy subjects during walking. DB-Total parameters may be useful for understanding multi-segmental body biomechanics and as a benchmark for pathological patterns.
