Abstract

Background
Posture of the human body aims to keep its balance when performing dynamic movements or in the static stance. Posturology is another term for the Global postural recalibration. It is the discipline which studies posture. Postural control is regulated by a complex system, known as the Tonic postural system. Stomatognathic system must not be excluded when discussing posture. Posturology enables clinicians to study the sensory information, entering the body and determine the sensor that work in a suboptimal manner.
Methods
A clinical case of a female patient, fully diagnosed, using the newly implemented system, is presented. Apart from it, we have analyzed another fourteen patients. All first filled out specifically designed questionnaires and signed written informed consent forms. Static and dynamic postural, audiological, vestibular, visual and HSAT assessments were performed, along with a dental check-up.
Results
Patient had normal occlusal characteristics – class 1 Angle, but problems with the temporomandibular joint and slight hearing were present. No vestibular, posture (static or dynamic) or visual convergence abnormalities were detected. Refractive abnormalities were present. Apart from that, a group of patients with obstructive sleep apnea is presented. Changes of their posture and balance were studied.
Conclusions
All information gathered by the two integrated static and dynamic analysis systems, along with the postural analyzer, HSAT and dental analysis can be used to define therapeutic interventions and exercise programmes needed.
