Introduction[edit | edit source]
There is a known link between posture and vocal quality[1] and posture and swallowing.[2][3] When working with patients who have vocal problems or swallowing dysfunction, it is essential to be able to assess the impact of posture on these functions and vice versa.
This page will discuss the practical components of the postural assessment of a patient that may be useful for speech therapists. The theoretical aspects of the postural assessment are discussed here and here, and deglutition is discussed in detail here.
When assessing a patient’s posture, it is important to remain two or three metres from the patient in order to observe them fully. If you are using a postural grid app, it is important to be consistent in terms of the patient’s position each time you take pictures.[4] For more information on using digital photography as an aid to postural assessment, please see the following articles:
- Two-dimensional digital photography for child body posture evaluation: standardized technique, reliable parameters and normative data for age 7-10 years[5]
- Spinal postural alignment measurements using markerless digital photography[6]
