Self-perception, Posture, Reprodutibility of testsAbstract
Postural therapies use active treatment
methods, such as self-correction, to control body
segments. The evidence for this practice is established
from the comparison of the self-perception of body
posture before, during, and after postural education.
A scoping review of tools to assess self-perception of
body posture, besides encouraging research, may guide
professionals while developing treatments. This scoping
review aims to identify the existing tools that assess
self-perception of body posture, describing their type,
measurement properties (validity and reliability),
and postural outcomes. The protocol of this review was
registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF), DOI:
10.17605/OSF.IO/JGH8U. Studies developing and/or
evaluating measurement properties and other study
designs using self-perception of static body posture as an
assessment method were included. In total, 359 studies
were found, of which six were analyzed in this study.
They presented two types of tool and their measurement
properties were related to validity (n=6) and reliability
(n=5). Five studies performed the joint analysis of validity
and reliability (83%). Spine position, leg and foot posture,
trunk and rib deformity, and postural awareness in general
were the assessed postural outcomes. Of the six tools
that assess self-perception of body posture, only the SSFS scale can be used in any population. To date, no study
found a tool that assesses self-perception of body posture and considers all body segments
