The following tutorial videos will demonstrate how to setup and properly perform a PostureScreen exam on the Apple iOS version.
CLOTHING REQUIREMENT: Please note for an effective assessment, it is recommended to have the client in the most revealing clothing as possible. For example, tight gym clothing and sports top for women is preferred over clients wearing a baggy t-shirt. If the clothes are baggy, we recommend using clothes pins to ‘tighten up’ the clothes against the body, to better reveal the body margins for analysis. However, gym attire where body margins are clearly defined is obviously preferred. In the following example, the client is in clothing, but it is still suitable to assess landmarks. For clinical use, tight fitting clothing is recommended for proper, uniform and reliable assessments. 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.
A sample 2-View PostureScreen report is attached below.
This is an example walkthrough of an initial examination on the iPad using Augmented Reality Computer Vision AI. If you have an older iOS device, and are on at least iOS18 or later, your PostureScreen if up to date can still utilize computer vision, however, you will see a heads up target floating display in stead of real time landmarks tracking on the client. After you start digitization, on an older device, you will see the predicted landmarks.

Advanced posture Features in PostureScreen
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 starting in version14.5 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.
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.
