“…Testing Procedure: Posture Alignment Assessment Posture alignment assessment in both groups was performed at the beginning and after the 4-month training period. Standing cervical and shoulder posture was measured with a highly reliable photogrammetric method, [17][18][19] which allows quantitative assessment of postural alterations, 20 and Postural Assessment Software (PAS). This software had already proven to be valid and reliable.…”

“…Table 2 presents the main methodological information of included studies. Although the methodology practically differs in all studies, the feet positioning was assembled in groups and the most common were: with inferior members in parallel and separated by a previously determined distance (Barbosa, Amorin, Zandonade, & Delaprane, 2013;Belli, et al, 2009;Iunes, Cecílio, Dozza, & Almeida, 2010;Iunes et al, 2005;Milanesi et al, 2011;Pezzan, João, Ribeiro, & Manfio, 2011;Sacco et al, 2007;Sacco et al, 2012;Tavares et al, 2013); with the inferior members positioned together (Chiao Yi, Jardim, Inoue, & Pignatari, 2008;Futlanetto, Chaise, Candotti, & Loss, 2011;Furlanetto et al, 2012;Munhoz, Marquez, & Siqueira, 2005); with the individual standing in self-referred or usual posture (Fedorak, Ashworth, Marshall, & Paul, 2003;Gadotti & Biasotto-Gonzalez, 2010;Gadotti, Armijo-Olivo, Silveira, & Magee, 2013;Raine & Towmey, 1994a;Raine & Towmey, 1994b;Salazadeh et al, 2014;Yu Cho, 2007); and standardizing the individual usual posture by using the strategy of outlining the supporting base of each person to utilize as a mold for the photos (Coelho et al, 2013;Coelho et al, 2014;de Almeida et al, 2013;Dunk, Lalonde, & Callaghan, 2005;Ferreira, Duarte, Maldonado, Bersanett, & Marques, 2011;Figueiredo, Amaral, & Shimano, 2012;Glaner, Mota, Viana, & Santos, 2012;Lopes et al, 2014;Miranda, Schor, & Girão, 2009;Pachioni et al, 2011;…”

“…According to the results of this review, there is a huge variety of feet positioning utilized to conduct a semi-static postural evaluation through photogrammetry, however it does not derail the execution of methodological comparisons, as most of the studies determine that the individual stands in a natural or self-referred posture for photos (Fedorak et al, 2003;Gadotti & BiasottoGonzalez, 2010;Gadotti et al, 2013;Raine & Towmey, 1994a;Raine & Towmey, 1994b;Salazadeh et al, 2014;Yu Cho, 2007). According to Smith, Weiss, and Lehmkuhl (1997), the aligned posture is not natural because requires a conscious effort and an increase in muscular activity, so they suggest that the standard feet positioning prioritize body comfort and relaxation instead of a previously determined body alignment.…”

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.

Background: Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) refers to specific altered muscle activation and changed movement patterns along with some postural deviations in the upper quarter of the body. This syndrome might contribute to the dysfunction of the cervicothoracic and glenohumeral joints. Objectives: The present study will aim to investigate the effectiveness of a comprehensive corrective exercises program (CCEP) and subsequent detraining on alignment, muscle activation and movement pattern in men with UCS. Methods/design: This is a parallel-group randomized controlled trial. Participants will be 22 men aged 18 to 28 years who are suffering from UCS. Participants in the intervention group will conduct CCEP (three times a week for 8 weeks), followed by 4 weeks of detraining. The control group will do their daily activities. Participants will be randomized (1:1) into the intervention or the control group. The primary outcome will be upper trapezius activations. Secondary outcomes consist of electromyography of middle and lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles, scapular dyskinesis test, forward head and shoulder angles, thoracic kyphosis angle, and neck flexion pattern test. Discussion: We propose to evaluate the effectiveness of a randomized controlled trial of a CCEP in men with UCS on their alignment, selected muscle activations, and relevant movement patterns. Results from our trial may provide new insights into the effects of exercise not only on the alignment but also on muscle activation and movement patterns that are important outcomes for people with postural malalignments and, if successful, could assist therapists in evidence-based clinical decision-making.
