“…Not all studies included in this review made comparisons between the studied/proposed mobile applications and other postural assessment methods. Some of them [65,77,[83][84][85][86] evaluated the ability of mobile applications to measure postural deviations, but without comparisons with other tools or traditional methods used for postural assessment. Analyses, comparative or not with other methods, were based on a varied number of statistical analysis, as indicated in Table 11.…”

Mobile Applications for Assessing Human Posture: A Systematic Literature Review

Smartphones are increasingly incorporated with features such as sensors and high resolution cameras that empower their capabilities, enabling their use for varied activities including human posture assessments. Previous reviews have discussed methods used in postural assessment but none of them focused exclusively on mobile applications. This paper systematically reviews mobile applications proposed for analyzing human posture based on alignment of the body in the sagittal and coronal plane. The main digital libraries were searched, 26 articles published between 2010 and 2020 were selected, and 13 mobile applications were identified, classified and discussed. Results showed that the use of mobile applications to assist with posture assessment have been demonstrated to be reliable, and this can contribute to clinical practice of health professionals, especially the assessment and reassessment phases of treatments, despite some variations when compared to traditional methods. Moreover, in the case of image-based applications, we highlight the advantage that measurements can be taken with the assessor at a certain distance with respect to the patient’s position, which is an important function for assessments performed in pandemic times such as the outbreak of COVID-19.

Turkiye Klinikleri J Sports Sci 2018;10(3):164-74 164 ertebral kolon ön-arka planda yana olan eğriliği ile buna eşlik eden, kendi ekseni etrafında dönmesi sonucunda oluşan bu deformite; vertebral kolondan kaynaklanan sorunlara bağlı olarak yapısal özellikte olabileceği gibi, omurgayı ilgilendiren başka nedenlere tepkisel olarak Skolyozlu Çocuklarda Okul Taramasının Önemi ve Egzersiz Tedavisinin Etkinliği: Literatür Taraması Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Genel olarak "vertebral kolonun frontal düzlemde laterale doğru eğriliği" olarak tanımlanan skolyoz, vücutta fonksiyonel ve görsel bozukluklara yol açan omurga deformasyonudur. Büyüklük, yer, yön ve eğrilik nedenine bağlı olarak sınıflandırılmakta ve tedavi edilmediği takdirde ciddi sağlık sorunları yaşanmasına yol açmaktadır. Erken tanı, zaman içinde oluşacak diğer deformitelerin önlenmesi için çok önemlidir. Risk grubu yaş aralığı 9-15 yıl olan çocuklardan oluşmaktadır, bu yüzden okul taramaları erken tanı için önemlidir. Çalışmada, literatürdeki şu alt başlıklı çalışmalara yer verilmiştir; Bunlar; 1. Skolyozda erken tanı için okul taramalarının önemi, 2. Skolyoz ve antropometrik ölçümler arasındaki ilişki, 3. Egzersizin skolyoz tedavisindeki etkinliği. İncelenen çalışmalardaki ortak kanı, okul taramaları yolu ile büyük populasyonlara ulaşılabileceği, skolyozun erken teşhis edilebileceği ve gerekli önlemlerin zamanında alınabileceğidir. Özel ve amaca yönelik egzersizlerin-genel egzersizlere oranla-skolyoz tedavisinde etkin olduğu ve cerrahi müdahaleyi önleyebildiği ispatlanmaktadır. Skolyoz için okul taramaları ilk ve ortaokullarda bir devlet uygulaması hâline gelmeli; aile, öğretmen ve sağlık kuruluşlarının koordineli çalışmalarıyla toplumsal farkındalık yaratılmalıdır. Erken yaşta fark edilen skolyozun tedavisi için özel rehabilitasyon merkezlerinin kurulması önerilmektedir.

“…A systematic review of 20 studies performed between 1977 and 2011 found a prevalence rate of scoliosis among schoolchildren ranging from 1% to 14.8% [4]. A recent study in Iran published in 2018 found a prevalence of clinical scoliosis of 10.4% among schoolchildren [5]. A local study in Abha City found a higher prevalence rate of 19.1% among adolescents [6].…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Reports suggest that Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is common and is a general health challenge worldwide and at high altitude in particular. AIM: The objectives were to explore Vitamin D status, to examine the association of VDD and clinically detected scoliosis, and to find a cutoff point of Vitamin D level predicting clinical scoliosis in Abha City (high-altitude area). METHODS: A nested case–control design was conducted among a screened population of 417 male adolescents from intermediate and secondary schools in Abha City, Southwest Saudi Arabia. From the surveyed adolescents, 62 cases with clinically detected scoliosis and 205 age-matched controls without scoliosis were selected. For both groups, serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was assessed by standardized technique. RESULTS: More than two-thirds (68.5%) of male adolescents suffered from VDD (<25 nmol/L). The risk of clinical scoliosis was significantly higher among adolescents with VDD compared to those without deficiency (grade adjusted odds ratio = 6.88, 95% CI: 2.63–17.99). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed acceptable discriminative ability of serum Vitamin D (area under the curve = 0.702) to predict scoliosis at a threshold value of ≤20.2 nmol/L. CONCLUSIONS: Overall levels of Vitamin D in the study adolescents suggest a high prevalence of VDD at high-altitude area in Southwest Saudi Arabia. There is evidence for a positive association between VDD and clinically detected scoliosis. A threshold cutoff value of 20.2 nmol/L has been identified to predict clinically detected scoliosis. The role of possible preventive effect of Vitamin D supplementation should be considered by school health authorities.

Screening of scoliosis in school children in Tehran: The prevalence rate of idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract: Regarding the high rate of scoliosis in our population and approval of this screening test in different studies, routine use of this screening method is highly recommended in schoolchildren. It is cost beneficial and can be effective in prevention and early treatment of scoliosis.
