Paediatric posture assessment: clinical notes for MSK therapists
Kids move; protocols must forgive motion while still aiming for comparability.
At a glance
- Use shorter sessions and game-like instructions.
- Involve guardians in stance coaching consistently.
- Avoid adult fear language projected onto growing bodies.
Growth changes angles without pathology
Interpret longitudinal data cautiously across growth spurts. Document height and Tanner stage notes when clinically relevant and appropriate.
Compliance tactics that actually work
Demonstrate the pose yourself, use visual targets on the wall, reward cooperation without tying self-worth to “straightness.”
How many credits does each analysis type use?
Fast, Standard, Advanced, and Dynamic analyses use different credit amounts — there's a dedicated guide in this hub. Pricing also includes plans and FAQs on monthly renewal.

Capture only views needed for clinical purpose. Restrict storage locations and access. Train staff on local safeguarding reporting duties.
PosturalCheck in paediatric pathways
Choose lighter protocols when appropriate and ensure guardians understand export destinations. Review organisation permissions so only paediatric-certified staff access minors’ files.
