“…However, we cannot determine the error of measurement related to patient position. Fortin et al found significant reliability of a photography technique similar to that used in our investigation [29,30]. To diminish this error only one trained investigator did all photographs.…”

“…Growth spurt, growth velocity and growth localization (lower limbs versus trunk segment) are important risk factors for scoliosis progression [5,9]. The good test-retest and inter-rater reliability found for marker placement in our previous study [12] (10), the right and left waist angles (7,8), the trunk list distance (9) and the pelvic frontal tilt (11). The angle formed by a line drawn between the inferior tip of the left and right ear, and the angle of this line to the horizontal.…”

“…Our team has developed a software based quantitative clinical posture assessment tool (QCPAT) for the calculation of angles and distances using digital photographs. This tool has good psychometric properties for measurements taken in the standing position (test-retest and inter-rater reliability as well as concurrent validity with radiographs and a 3D surface topography system) in persons with IS [12,13] but the ability to detect differences between standing and sitting posture indices has not yet been established.…”

The objective of this study was to explore whether differences in standing and sitting postures of youth with idiopathic scoliosis could be detected from quantitative analysis of digital photographs. Standing and sitting postures of 50 participants aged 10–20-years-old with idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb angle: 15° to 60°) were assessed from digital photographs using a posture evaluation software program. Based on the XY coordinates of markers, 13 angular and linear posture indices were calculated in both positions. Paired t-tests were used to compare values of standing and sitting posture indices. Significant differences between standing and sitting positions (p < 0.05) were found for head protraction, shoulder elevation, scapula asymmetry, trunk list, scoliosis angle, waist angles, and frontal and sagittal plane pelvic tilt. Quantitative analysis of digital photographs is a clinically feasible method to measure standing and sitting postures among youth with scoliosis and to assist in decisions on therapeutic interventions.CIHR / IRS

“…One option to this type of evaluation is the computerized photogrammetry, an objective method that is reasonably simple and provides accurate and reproducible quantitative results of easy understanding (Belli, Chaves, de Oliveira, & Grossi, 2009;Fortin et al, 2012;Moradi et al, 2014).…”

Feet positioning in the semi-static postural evaluation through photogrammetry: a systematic review

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Photogrammetry is a relatively simple and objective instrument of evaluation that provides accurate and reproducible quantitative results, if applied rigorously, existing nowadays several protocols. The main purpose was to systematically review the utilized feet positioning to conduct a semi-static postural evaluation through photogrammetry. It was performed a systematic review of observational studies and clinic trials using the keywords "photogrammetry" and "spinal postural evaluation" to conduct searches on scientific databases. The eligibility criteria adopted were: utilize the photogrammetry to evaluate children, teenagers, adults or elders with or without pathologies; explicit the utilized feet positioning to conduct the evaluation; and be written in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The methodological quality was assessed by Downs and Black scale and the strength of evidence by the best evidence synthesis. It was found 1.786 articles and 40 were included in this review. The main feet positioning found were: self-referred, separated and in parallel, united and in parallel and standard self-referred. The review exhibited strong strength of evidence in the methodological quality assessment. Considering the main feet positioning found, it is considered primordial that the selection of evaluation methodology respects the specific instructions of each analysis protocol or software.
