PostureScreen: Advanced 4 View Evaluation – Posture Analysis
The advanced 4 view evaluation incorporates additional posterior view and the left lateral view photographs and is intended for more clinical application. It is not suggested that you use this for report for patient education, rather, it is for more advanced clinical documentation and health care records for the professional. Again this report is not to be sent to clients as it is NOT meant for education like the two view report.
The posterior view evaluation will allow for digitizing approximate levels of on the spine as well as the torso for documentation of spinal displacements which may be independent of the torso itself, for example in moderate to severe scoliotic curvatures.
In addition, the lateral views are also averaged to find the overall linear displacements for greater validity.
Further we have also added angular displacements, comparing the region or segment, to that below.
Comments and notes added to the case will also be reported in the advanced documentation.
Recently Updated Measurements Included, Cranio-vertebral Angle (CVA), Skull Flexion Extension Angle (Sometimes referred to as gaze angle), Thoracic Kyphosis, PSIS>ASIS relative to horizontal, Q-Angle, and Pronation Supination of foot/ankle. You must turn on these advanced measurements in Settings of the application.
CLOTHING REQUIREMENT: For accurate results in this study, men should remove their shirts and women should wear sports bras. This is especially true for using the new advanced thoraco-lumbar mensuration on the lateral view since a posterior tangent trace contour follows their body, and thus we do not want the AI to follow their clothing contours. Do not perform thoraco-lumbar digitization studies without proper attire. We always recommend men wear shorts with no shirt, and women with shorts and sports top so you can see their body contours clearly. Also please make sure for the thoraco-lumbar trace contour, you position the patient to have their forearm not occluding the view of the posterior thoraco-lumbar spine, otherwise you are digitizing their arm, not their spine. Additionally, concerning Q-Angle, we recommend shorts above the knee, and if possible, not covering the knee, and avoid dark pants, as the software nor the clinician can accurately predict knee.

In this tutorial we will review the new assessment update that allows you to turn on additional postural mensuration for both the 2-View as well as the 4- View PostureScreen assessment. This feature is available in version 14.5 of PostureScreen for iOS and later. The CVA, Head Tilt (flex/ext), Pelvic Tilt are still reported when turned on but are now optional for users.
