Summary

The postural observation of the patient has an important role for the evaluation and monitoring of orthopedic and neurological degenerative pathologies. The study of the effects of rehabilitation in the treatment of postural alterations depends on the validity, sensitivity and specificity of the tool used.

The radiographic evaluation of the spine in the standard anteroposterior and lateral projections is the gold standard and provides a standardized and objective measure of the dysmorphisms and paramorphisms of the spine, although it requires exposure to X-rays and with costs of the method especially in the need to repeat the radiological examination in time.

Non-radiological tools for postural assessment have been proposed in the literature, with uncertain judgments by the various authors regarding their validity and reliability, due to the heterogeneity and poor quality of the studies in this regard.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new posture analysis methodology (BHOHB SPINAL-METER ® and CervicalMeter®) in measuring spine dysmorphisms and paramorphisms in adult patients affected by orthopedic and neurological degenerative pathologies, who carry out rehabilitation at the Policlinico Gemelli Foundation (FPG) Hospitalization and Rehabilitation Services clinic. In particular, the correspondence of radiological and clinical data with the reports obtained from the "BHOHB SPINAL-METER ® and CervicalMeter®" will be considered and the relationship between the data obtained with the two methods and the characteristics of pain, disability, balance and quality of life will be observed of patients suffering from orthopedic and neurological disease with dysmorphisms and paramorphisms of the spine, belonging to the rehabilitation clinic who agree to participate in the study.
