Repeat posture assessments: why the same protocol matters more than new features
Reassessment is where posture services prove value—or accidentally mislead patients. If visit two uses a different stance, camera height, or landmark habit than visit one, software graphs lie. This article is for clinicians who manage protocols professionally.
At a glance
- Name your reassessment package in the EMR and in PosturalCheck the same way.
- Record exceptions (injury flare, new shoes) as structured notes beside the analysis.
- Review quarterly whether staff drifted from the SOP.
Protocol lock: what must not change between visits
List non-negotiables: views captured, distance bands, orthotic rule, patient instruction phrase. Anything else becomes an explicit exception logged next to the analysis ID. This habit is what separates clinical follow-up from marketing before/after galleries.
Timing reassessment to intervention phases
Align repeat tests with treatment milestones: after ergonomic coaching, mid-rehab block, or return-to-play clearance. Explain to patients why the date was chosen so they connect the measurement to their plan rather than to software upsells.
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 has plans and FAQs on monthly renewal.
Explore pricingMulti-therapist continuity
When patients rotate between staff, use the same preset and the same written patient instruction card. Add a short sign-off field noting who captured and who interpreted. PosturalCheck organisation settings help enforce role separation while preserving a single patient timeline.
Credits, history, and PDF continuity
Understand how each reassessment consumes credits and where prior analyses appear in the patient record. Export PDFs with consistent branding so external referrers recognise your studio. Consistency in documentation is itself a quality indicator.
