Simulation of Mio-Arthro-Kinetic System Parameters in the Planting Region in Order to Optimize Postural Position

Summary/Abstract: Over time, posture has been a determining factor in the evolution of the human race, making the transition from quadruped to bipedal. This transition has brought changes in the mio-arthro-kinetic system, both structural changes in the vertebral column by altering the curves and functional changes, in the position of the general weight center, the supporting polygon, the pressure exerted within the supporting polygon, the projection of the center of gravity in the supporting polygon etc. This position has been studied and well determined in the speciality literature (functionally, biomechanical, anatomical, etc.), but in the last decade we have seen changes in this position, changes that can be registered with posturology at the level of the supportive surface and namely in the planting region. The study was conducted on a number of 50 female students in the first year. All students benefited from a posturological assessment, performed from the bipedal position with a posturotest, and also an anthropometric evaluation. The inventory data were taken, statistically processed and compared with the data in the literature. The study helped identify the problems faced by the subjects up to this level, problems that led to a poor posture. The results of the study are shown through figures and pressure maps that will facilitate their understanding by the user. Subsequent follow-up is done by developing a protocol to eliminate identified problems, tracking students over a one-year studio, and reevaluating them to see if the elimination of the problems has helped remedy the vicious position. This approach will allow validate the protocol and will help at its improvement. On the other hand, preserving an archive with templates of evolution of pressure maps will allow the user to evaluate the quality of postural improvement of the patient and as an educational tool for the analysis of plantar pressure maps.
