Abstract:
The use of posture and movement analysis methods has developed during the past 15 years. These methods are of special interest in the field of sport sciences and have allowed to improve the understanding of physiology of posture and movement in athletes. More recently these methods have been used in the field of sport medicine. In some cases, they have helped to identify abnormalities which cannot be seen on standard clinical examination and to understand the mechanism of lesions occurring during sport activities. For the future these methods should provide useful information for understanding the physiopathology of lesions, for developing prevention of pathologies related to sport and for elaborating and assessing new treatment protocols in the field of sport medicine.
