Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the interrater and intrarater reliability using the postural assessment software (PAS/SAPO) through a systematic review of the literature. An electronic and manual search was carried out in the following bibliographic databases: Cochrane, MEDLINE, PEDro, Web of Science, Scopus and IME. The search was conducted from February to May 2016, combining the following search terms: [(SAPO AND posture*) OR (SAPO AND reliability*) OR (SAPO AND validation*)]. 130 studies were identified and 9 were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of this study suggest that the PAS/SAPO is necessary to measure angles and distances. It has a good interrater and intrarater reliability. Therefore, this software program can be considered a useful and reliable tool for measuring posture.
