Visual inspection is also useful in monitoring the effectiveness of posture correction
interventions. By comparing pre- and post-intervention observations, health
professionals can evaluate the progress of their patients. This information can help
adjust treatment plans and achieve better outcomes.
In summary, visual inspection is a simple and effective method of posture analysis. It
can be used to identify postural abnormalities, monitor progress, and prevent injury.
However, to ensure objectivity and reliability, it is essential to use standardized criteria
and techniques. Health professionals should incorporate visual inspection into their
posture assessment protocols and use it as a tool to improve patient outcomes.
