Two-dimensional digital photography for child body posture evaluation: standardized technique reliable parameters and normative data for age 7-10 years

摘要

BackgroundDigital photogrammetry provides measurements of body angles or distances which allow for quantitative posture assessment with or without the use of external markers. It is becoming an increasingly popular tool for the assessment of the musculoskeletal system. The aim of this paper is to present a structured method for the analysis of posture and its changes using a standardized digital photography technique.
