Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Human Movement Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Orthopedic intervention decisions for upper body posture rely on comparisons with healthy states.
  • Patient-centered, well-measured data on healthy upper body posture and control have been lacking.
  • This gap hinders accurate assessment and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish comprehensive, lifespan data for upper body posture and postural control in healthy individuals.
  • To provide a normative reference for patient-centered orthopedic and movement science research.
  • To enhance the quantification and justification of interventional effects.

Main Methods:

  • Data collection from healthy participants across the lifespan.
  • Calculation of tolerance ranges and confidence intervals for standard value determination.
  • Statistical analysis including correlation and group comparison tests (t-tests, Mann-Whitney-U).

Main Results:

  • Establishment of novel standard values for upper body posture and postural control.
  • Determination of tolerance ranges and confidence intervals for these measures.
  • Identification of statistical correlations and group differences.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides unprecedented normative data for upper body posture and control.
  • These findings will improve the classification of postural adaptations.
  • Interventional effects in orthopedic and movement science can be more accurately quantified and justified.
