Anatomical Positions

20.9K
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:

  • Biomechanical analysis
  • Human posture evaluation
  • Photogrammetric assessment

Background:

  • Accurate upright posture assessment is crucial in clinical settings.
  • Quantitative reference values are needed for standardized postural analysis.
  • Postural Assessment Software (PAS/SAPO) offers a photogrammetric approach to posture evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a literature review to identify reference values for body segment angles and distances in healthy adult women.
  • To establish quantitative reference data for upright posture using the Postural Assessment Software (PAS/SAPO).

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of electronic databases (BVS, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus) from 2005-2014.
  • Inclusion of studies evaluating healthy adult women's posture using PAS/SAPO.
  • Statistical analysis to determine mean and standard deviation for 29 postural variables from 4 included studies.

Main Results:

  • Data from 4 studies yielded reference values for 29 postural variables (anterior, lateral, posterior views).
  • Reference values indicated asymmetry between body sides in the frontal plane (anterior/posterior views).
  • Minor discrepancies were observed in reference values for lateral views.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides proposed reference values for quantitative evaluation of upright posture in healthy adult women.
  • These reference values, derived using PAS/SAPO, can guide future research and clinical applications.
  • The findings contribute to a more objective assessment of postural alignment.
