Anatomical Positions

In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Abnormal head posture (AHP) is a common clinical finding requiring accurate diagnosis.
  • Identifying the underlying cause of AHP is crucial for effective management and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a systematic approach for assessing the etiology of AHP.
  • To review and consolidate both historical and recent diagnostic techniques for AHP.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of literature on AHP assessment.
  • Inclusion of established clinical diagnostic techniques.
  • Integration of recent office-based criteria for AHP evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Numerous diagnostic techniques for AHP have been described over time.
  • Recent advancements include new office-based diagnostic criteria that enhance AHP assessment.
  • A comprehensive range of techniques, both well-known and lesser-known, are available.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic approach aids in determining the cause of AHP.
  • Both historical and contemporary methods are valuable for AHP assessment.
  • Office-based techniques provide a solid foundation for diagnosing AHP.
