Posture, CellulitisAbstract
The cellulitis is a disorder of dermal and subcutaneous tissues. It affects 90% of women after puberty. Several predisposing factors interfere with its occurrence such as postural impairments. Photogrammetry has been considered reliable, easy to use, reproducible and with low cost to assess posture and cellulitis. It was evaluated if there is correlation between pelvic alignment and cellulitis in the gluteal region by photogrammetry. This is an observational cross-sectional study with 46 women (18-29 years old, mean age 23 years ± 4.2). Posture was evaluated by the software SAPO and the angle between the right and left anterior superior iliac spineswas calculated. Cellulitis was classified according to Hexsel’s photonumeric scale. Analyses were performed by two independent and blinded evaluators and Pearson correlation tests investigated possible relationships between posture and cellulitis. The average value of the pelvic disalignment angle was 1.70 (+1.46), the mean value of the right gluteus cellulitis was 6.30 (+4.01) and left 6.76 (+3.61). There was no correlation between pelvic alignment and the level of cellulitis in the gluteal region (p = 0.38).Downloads
