The Science of Posture Analysis: Evidence-Based App roaches for Health
Professionals
Inclinometry can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at
correcting postural deviations. A study by Kim et al. (2018) found that a six-week
exercise program focusing on postural correction signi cantly improved forward head
posture and cervical inclination angle in individuals with chronic neck pain.
Smartphone apps are convenient but may have lower accuracy and reliability
compared to other devices.
In summary, inclinometry is a valuable tool in posture analysis that provides objective
measures of postural deviations and helps evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
Health professionals can use inclinometry to assess and monitor postural changes in
their patients, as well as to guide the development of individualized treatment plans.
The use of inclinometry in posture analysis is supported by a growing body of research,
making it an evidence-based approach for health professionals in the eld of posture
analysis.
El ectromyography (EMG)
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique used to measure the electrical activity of
muscles. It is a valuable tool for health professionals who work with patients who may
have muscle weakness or other neuromuscular disorders. EMG can be used to
diagnose a variety of conditions, including nerve damage, muscle disorders, and spinal
cord injuries.
