The  Science  of  Posture  Analysis:  Evidence-Based    App       roaches   for   Health
                Professionals



                Posture: The position of the body in

                relation to the gravitational line. Good
                posture involves proper alignment of the
                body.



                Scoliosis: A condition characterized by
                an abnormal lateral curvature of the
                spine, causing the body to lean to one
                side.



                Spinal Curvature: The natural curves of
                the spine, including the cervical, thoracic,
                and lumbar curves.



                Static Postural Assessment: The
                evaluation of the alignment of the body

                while standing still.


                These terms are essential for health
                professionals who specialize in posture

                analysis studies. Understanding these
                concepts is crucial for proper diagnosis
                and treatment of postural problems. By
                using these terms, health professionals

                can communicate effectively with each
                other and their patients and promote
                evidence-based approaches to posture
                analysis.
