3D Postural Assessment

Why integrate 3D postural analysis into a podiatry practice?

POSCAN ONE allows for a rapid, non-irradiating and reproducible 3D postural assessment.

The acquisition is carried out in a natural standing position in order to observe the general organization of the body, the visible asymmetries and the relationships between the main anatomical areas.

The professional thus has a visual and measurable support to complement their clinical examination, monitor the patient's progress and facilitate the explanation of the results.

A comprehensive posture analysis

The POSCAN ONE postural assessment allows for the simultaneous observation of:

  • the overall alignment of the body;

  • the position of the shoulders;

  • the organization of the spine;

  • the orientation of the basin;

  • left-right asymmetries;

  • the relationship between the lower limbs, the pelvis and the trunk.

The results are presented in the three planes of space: frontal, sagittal and transverse.

Rapid and non-irradiating acquisition

POSCAN ONE uses 3D optical technology, without ionizing radiation and without direct contact with the patient.

The assessment is carried out in a few minutes according to a guided and reproducible protocol.

The visualization is available immediately after acquisition.

Clear and actionable measures

The software allows you to reproduce:

  • the rear and lateral views;

  • the main anatomical landmarks;

  • the differences in height;

  • visible inclinations;

  • segmental shifts;

  • postural curvatures;

  • a three-dimensional representation of the patient.

This data is descriptive and remains subject to interpretation by the professional according to their examination and the clinical context.

Compare the results over time

POSCAN ONE allows you to keep several exams and compare their progress.

The professional can thus observe the variations concerning:

  • shoulder balance;

  • the position of the pelvis;

  • spinal alignment;

  • visible asymmetries;

  • the overall organization of the posture.

Comparison can be used in the context of monitoring, rehabilitation or evaluation before and after treatment.

A PDF report for monitoring and communication

Following the assessment, a PDF report summarizes the main views and measures.

It can be:

  • stored in the patient's file;

  • presented to the patient;

  • compared with a previous assessment;

  • shared with another professional when necessary.

The report facilitates understanding of the observations and communication between the different stakeholders.

For which professionals?

3D postural assessment can be used by various professionals:

  • podiatrists;

  • physiotherapists;

  • osteopaths;

  • sports medicine doctors and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) doctors;

  • orthotists/prosthetists;

  • rehabilitation centers.

Each professional uses the results according to their area of expertise, protocol, and clinical reasoning.

A solution integrated into daily practice

POSCAN ONE was designed to easily integrate 3D postural analysis into a practice or facility.

The solution combines:

  • a rapid acquisition;

  • a guided protocol;

  • a visualization in three planes;

  • comparison tools;

  • a PDF report;

  • longitudinal monitoring of the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3D postural assessment?

This is a three-dimensional observation of posture performed in a standing position. It allows visualization of asymmetries and the general organization of the body in the three planes of space.

Is 3D postural assessment irradiating?

No. POSCAN ONE uses 3D optical technology without ionizing radiation.

Does the assessment replace a medical examination?

No. It complements the professional's examination but does not replace either clinical diagnosis or medical imaging examinations.

Can we compare several financial statements?

Yes. The examinations can be kept and compared in order to observe the evolution of posture during follow-up.

How long does an assessment take?

Acquisition and restitution are carried out in a few minutes according to the protocol used.
