Childhood posture: observations to discuss at assessment
An illustrated guide to everyday observations to discuss with a clinician. A photograph cannot distinguish posture from a deformity.
Posture changes
One position does not define a disease. Persistent asymmetry, pain and changes over time matter.
Describe what you notice
Explain when discomfort occurs and which activities it limits. The clinician assesses movement, the back and limbs.
No diagnosis from a photograph
An image cannot replace examination. Persistent pain, night pain or pain with weakness needs assessment.
Illustrations and general information for families. They do not replace an individual medical assessment or instructions from the treating team.
