Abstract

Posturology is the medical science that studies the body’s static posture while Posturometry is the medical science used to measure the results. In medical rehabilitation they are of crucial importance from the holistic point of view in both the diagnosis and treatment. The M.P.R. (Myofunctional and Postural Rehabilitation) is a method that uses both posturology and posturometry, for a complete diagnosis, planning and treatment, in medical sciences, to treat patients with neuromuscular diseases. Posturlogy allows medical sciences, to have a global and holistic approach, whereas posturometry is used to scientifically measure posturology, transforming it into science. By using posturology and posturometry in combination, allows medical sciences, to reach the root of the problem. Combining both the results in rehabilitation will be permanent and long lasting. The aim of this presentation is to show the basis of posturology and posturometry, applied in the M P R.
