“…Some methodological precautions 3,4,6 and standards 3,12,32 can be found in the literature. Results with good reproducibility and intra-and interrater agreement have been reported for most angle measures evaluated in adults 3,6,11,28,29,33 .…”

“…The use of photography as a postural record is recommended for its simplicity and low cost and for the possibility of creating a database to follow postural development 6 and, therefore, observe subtle modifications 24,[26][27][28] . Other favorable arguments for the use of photography were presented by Niererk et al 29 , who analyzed the seated posture of adolescents by comparing low dosage X-rays (LODOX).…”

“…Dunk et al 25 studied the reliability of photogrammetry in determining a stable measure of individual posture. A wide coefficient of variation and low ICC indicated the poor repeatability of the method for the evaluation of subjects on the same day and on different days.…”

-Photogrammetry is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and measurement of postural changes, but the lack of standardization of anatomical references and angular measures impairs the comparison between studies and compromises the reliability of the results. The objective of this study was to evaluate the inter-and intraexaminer reliability of angular measures proposed by the SAPO posture assessment software (v. 0.68). Twenty--four subjects were photographed in the standing position according to the recommendations of the SAPO software. Three examiners (A, B and C) experienced in the use of the software analyzed the images and repeated the analysis after 7 days. Variance, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and t-test adopting a level of significance of 5% were applied. With respect to interexaminer reliability among the 20 angles measured, two were classified as unacceptable (A13: ICC = 0.623; A14: ICC = 0.568), one as acceptable (A19: ICC = 0.743), one as very good (A20: ICC = 0.860), and 16 as excellent (ICC ≥ 0.90). Evaluation of repeatability of the method by the same examiner showed that two angles measured by examiner A differed significantly between the two measurements (A11: p = 0.015; A12: p = 0.026), as did two angles measured by examiner B (A2: p = 0.019; A12: p = 0.015) and one angle measured by examiner C (A16, p = 0.011). In conclusion, comparison between different examiners showed that the angles proposed by the SAPO protocol are reliable for the measurement of body segments.

“…The present findings are consistent with those reported by other authors who assessed the angle of kyphosis and lordosis using photogrammetry and imaging technique applying X-rays. When they compared photogrammetry results with X-ray images these authors found positive correspondence in the case of thoracic kyphosis angle, yet measurement of angle of lordosis with photogrammetric method carried significant error [27,28]. Different findings related to measurement of lumbar lordosis were shown by Drzał-Grabiec et al, who reported that these two methods produced consistent results, yet the angular values identified with the non-invasive method were lower [10].…”

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate correlations between parameters of anteroposterior spinal curvatures in the sagittal plane, measured with the use of photogrammetric technique and inclinometer in healthy elderly women. Methods Randomized study involved 50 females, ranging from 50 to 70 years of age (mean 62.26 ± 6.94); mean body mass index (BMI) 27.69 ± 4.79. The examined parameters included angle of inclination in lumbosacral spine (ALFA), thoracolumbar transition (BETA), upper thoracic segment (GAMMA), angle of lumbar lordosis (LLA) and thoracic kyphosis (TKA). Results obtained with gravitational inclinometer were compared with those identified with photogrammetry method. Statistical analyses were performed with Mann-Whitney U test, regression analysis and Bland-Altman analysis. Results In Mann-Whitney U test, with correction due to continuity, no statistically significant differences for any variable were found. Regression analysis was significant only for the variable of BETA angle. Bland-Altman coefficient for the respective angles was: ALFA 2.0%, BETA 4%, GAMMA 0%, LLA 2% and TKA 0%. Conclusions The results acquired with gravitational inclinometer and with photogrammetric technique are comparable, as the parameters of anteroposterior spinal curvatures acquired with these two methods are found to be compatible in the case of measurements of lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis.
