Appendix B: Case Studies

In this appendix, we present real-life
case studies that demonstrate the
practical application of posture analysis

in various healthcare settings. These
cases provide valuable insights into
how posture analysis can be used to

identify and address musculoskeletal
imbalances and improve overall health
outcomes.

Case Study 1: Shoulder Pain in a Desk
Worker

Ms. A, a 35-year-old desk worker,
presented with chronic shoulder pain.
She reported experiencing pain while
performing daily tasks such as reaching
for objects and typing on her computer.

The pain had been present for several
months and was not responsive to rest
or over-the-counter pain medications.

Posture Analysis: Upon examination,
Ms. A exhibited forward head posture,
rounded shoulders, and a hunched

upper back. Her scapulae were
protracted and rotated downward, which
contributed to her shoulder pain.
