Abstract
A computerized method for assessing standing posture was described and evaluated. As experimentally determined, the precision of the method was to the nearest millimeter. The accuracy (measurement error) of the system was 1.0% for the X direction, 3% for the Y direction, and 2.6% for the Z direction. Using 32 subjects the intraday and interday reliability was good. The validity of the method was satisfactory for acquiring measurements of the spinal column.Keywords
