[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of wearing a good posture belt on buttock pressure during cross-legged sitting. [Subjects] The study subjects were 34 adults who were divided into a good posture belt group (7 men, and 10 women) and a control group (7 men, and 10 women), with 17 subjects each. [Methods] Sensor mats were used to measure buttock pressure and changes in the total travel distance of the center of pressure, maximum pressure, and mean pressure. [Results] The good posture belt group showed smaller increments in center of pressure, maximum pressure, and mean pressure than the control group. [Conclusion] The use of the good posture belt during cross-legged sitting is considered to control the increment of buttock pressure, thereby greatly helping the maintenance of efficient postures.

Purpose: To evaluate the reliability and validity of spinal alignment measurements in the raised arm standing posture using a smartphone app.
Background: An inclinometer is a reliable tool for measuring spinal alignment. Measurement of static standing posture spinal curvature angles using smartphone inclinometer applications has been investigated in the lumbar spine but has not been reported for the thoracic spine.

The Ottawa Sitting Scale is a tool for the multidimensional assessment of sitting balance. This study aimed to investigate the validity, reliability, and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Ottawa Sitting Scale (OSS-TR) in Turkish-speaking patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study included 56 patients diagnosed with PD based on the UK Brain Bank Criteria.

Context: Sensorimotor impairments are common sequela following concussion, but recovery following a concussion is often determined through examiner scored clinical testing. There are emerging technologies that provide objective methods to determine physiological impairment after concussion, but the psychometrics of these tools are lacking and must be established for use in clinical practice.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability and provide reliable change estimates in healthy young adults for outcomes from 3 emerging technologies providing objective assessments of sensorimotor function in healthy young adults.
Concurrent validity of skin-based motion capture systems in measuring dynamic lumbar intervertebral angles.

Spine kinematics are commonly measured by external sensors such as motion capture and accelerometers. However, these skin-based measures cannot directly capture intervertebral motion of the lumbar spine. To date, research in this area has focused on the estimation of intervertebral kinematics using static trials but no study has analyzed agreement throughout the dynamic range of motion.

The anatomy of the pelvis may obscure differences in pelvic tilt, potentially underestimating its correlation with clinical measures. Measuring the total sagittal range of pelvic movement can serve as a reliable indicator of pelvic function. This study assessed the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the Kinovea version 0.
