3D postural analysis for physiotherapists
In physiotherapy, POSCAN ONE complements the assessment with a clear 3D visualization of posture, the back, pelvis, shoulders and lower limbs. It helps document visible asymmetries, compensations, mobility-related observations and patient follow-up without replacing the physiotherapist’s clinical reasoning.
3D postural analysis consists of observing and documenting a subject’s posture in standing position from a three-dimensional acquisition. It helps the professional visualize global body organization, visible asymmetries and postural landmarks, without replacing clinical assessment or professional interpretation.

Why integrate 3D postural analysis into a physiotherapy practice?
Physiotherapy assessment relies on a comprehensive observation of the patient. The practitioner analyses posture, mobility, range of motion, compensatory patterns, pain, functional limitations, and the patient’s ability to perform specific movements.
POSCAN ONE brings an additional visual dimension to this assessment through 3D postural analysis. It helps highlight key elements such as spinal posture, pelvic position, shoulder alignment, global body balance, right/left asymmetries, and visible postural adaptations.
For physiotherapists, POSCAN ONE provides clear added value: it creates a visual record of the initial assessment and makes follow-up comparisons easier over time. This is particularly useful in rehabilitation programs, mobility work, functional recovery, and postural monitoring.
The 3D analysis supports the practitioner’s clinical observation without replacing their expertise. The physiotherapist remains fully responsible for interpretation, clinical reasoning, and the choice of treatment strategy.
Supporting Physiotherapy Assessment, Posture Analysis and Functional Follow-Up
In physiotherapy, posture should not be considered in isolation. It is part of a broader functional assessment involving mobility, pain, balance, coordination, weight-bearing, movement patterns, physical activity, and everyday postural habits.
POSCAN ONE brings posture into this global analysis by providing a clear 3D visualisation of the subject in a standing position. It helps the practitioner observe the relationships between the back, pelvis, shoulders, and lower limbs.
This visual support is useful both during the initial assessment and throughout follow-up care. By comparing successive acquisitions, the physiotherapist can document observable changes and support the monitoring of rehabilitation progress.
Within a rehabilitation pathway, this visual record helps patients better understand their posture and the evolution of their care. It also gives the practitioner an objective basis for comparison, while leaving clinical interpretation and therapeutic decisions fully under their control.
Make posture easier to understand with a clear visual aid
In physiotherapy, POSCAN ONE complements the clinical assessment with a clear 3D visualization of posture, the back, pelvis, shoulders and lower limbs. It helps document visible asymmetries, compensations, mobility-related observations and changes over time, without replacing the physiotherapist’s functional examination or clinical reasoning.
Analysis of the spine, pelvis and postural compensations
The spine, pelvis, and lower limbs are key elements in overall postural organisation. In physiotherapy, observing these areas can support the assessment of many situations, including low back pain, neck pain, back pain, balance disorders, reduced mobility, post-injury compensations, or functional adaptations.
POSCAN ONE provides a 3D visualisation of back posture, pelvic attitude, global alignment, and visible asymmetries. It allows the practitioner to document their observations during the assessment and connect them with the functional examination.
POSCAN ONE does not replace medical imaging, clinical examination, or the specific tests carried out by the physiotherapist. It provides complementary visual support dedicated to postural observation and documentation.
This visual documentation can help monitor changes over time, explain postural adaptations to the patient, and compare two situations throughout the rehabilitation pathway.
Follow-up before/after rehabilitation
Monitoring progress over time is a key part of physiotherapy. From the initial assessment to rehabilitation sessions and follow-up consultations, the practitioner needs clear reference points to observe changes, progress, and persistent postural adaptations.
POSCAN ONE allows several 3D acquisitions to be performed at different stages of the patient’s care pathway. The physiotherapist can compare assessments and visualise observable postural changes over time.
This visual comparison can support a wide range of clinical situations, including low back pain follow-up, return-to-sport programs, mobility work, post-injury rehabilitation, postural monitoring, compensation management, and functional progression.
POSCAN ONE provides a structured visual record for both the practitioner and the patient. It helps patients see their evolution, understand the purpose of the rehabilitation work, and become more actively involved in their care.
PDF report and patient-file documentation
POSCAN ONE generates a PDF report from the 3D postural assessment. The report can include visual views, practitioner observations, and the key elements needed for follow-up.
For the physiotherapist, this document creates a structured record of the assessment. It can be integrated into the patient file, used during follow-up consultations, or shared, when appropriate, with other healthcare professionals involved in the care pathway.
The PDF report simplifies documentation. It helps keep a history of acquisitions, compare observations over time, and support clearer communication with the patient.
In modern physiotherapy practice, where traceability, patient education, and visual communication are increasingly important, this type of report can strengthen the perceived quality of the assessment and make postural follow-up easier to explain.
Practical applications for a physiotherapy practice
In physiotherapy, POSCAN ONE complements the clinical assessment with a clear 3D visualization of posture, the back, pelvis, shoulders and lower limbs. It helps document visible asymmetries, compensations, mobility-related observations and changes over time, without replacing the physiotherapist’s functional examination or clinical reasoning.
3D postural analysis and back rehabilitation
Back pain represents a significant proportion of physiotherapy consultations. Low back pain, thoracic pain, cervical tension and functional disorders often require a global approach combining observation, mobility, strengthening, education and follow-up. POSCAN ONE provides a complementary 3D visualization of the back, pelvis, shoulders and visible asymmetries.

Benefits for physiotherapists
For physiotherapy practices, POSCAN ONE delivers five clear benefits.
Visualisation
Practitioners benefit from a clear 3D visual support to observe overall posture, the back, pelvis, shoulders, and lower limbs.
Documentation
The PDF report provides a structured record of the assessment and helps monitor postural changes over time.
Patient education
When patients can visualise what is being observed, explanations become clearer and easier to understand.
Enhanced assessment value
3D postural analysis brings a more visual, structured, and professional dimension to postural evaluation.
Easy integration into clinical practice
POSCAN ONE does not require physiotherapists to change their clinical approach. It complements the existing examination with clear visual documentation.

Modern physiotherapy is becoming increasingly documented, educational, and focused on patient follow-up. Patients are looking for clear explanations, visual reference points, and a better understanding of their rehabilitation pathway.
POSCAN ONE meets this need by bringing 3D postural analysis into everyday physiotherapy practice. Simple to integrate in the clinic, it helps practitioners observe, document, and monitor posture while preserving their clinical expertise.
The system is designed for physiotherapists who want to enrich their assessments, make their observations easier to explain, track changes over time, and offer patients a clearer visual understanding of posture.
In a physiotherapy clinic, POSCAN ONE becomes a valuable complementary support for assessment, rehabilitation, patient education, and functional follow-up.
