A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SOFTWARE USED IN THE LABOR MARKET VS THE EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE OF POSTUROLOGY USED IN THE TRAINING OF PHYSIOTHERAPY

Abstract

The technological and informational explosion had a negative impact on human health by reducing the time allocated to movement in the daily activity. The simple activities such as newspaper picking, shopping, paying bills, etc., can now be done by a simple click from the computer or mobile devices. The technological development of the 21st century offers daily comfort, but it increases the time spent in static positions, favors the appearance of sedentarism and producing changes in the posture of individuals. A correct body posture is a sign of good psycho-physical balance of the individual. Modifying it decreases the body's ability to fight against gravity, to oppose external forces, to balance itself during movements such as, to perform them etc. The consequence of these changes leads to the appearance of pathologies / diseases in all the segments of the body. The study aimed to identify in three databases of virtual libraries the devices and software used in the analysis of the individual's posture by the labor market and research, and then the identified information was compared with the software used by students from the specialization of Physiotherapy (Balneology, physical therapy and medical rehabilitation), from the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Iasi. After studying the specialized literature from three virtual libraries and identifying the devices and software used by the market specialists and comparing them with the devices and software used by the students within the specialization of Physiotherapy (Balneology, physical therapy and medical rehabilitation), we can say that the last class are using topical devices in posture analysis, but they do not depart from the classical methods of posture evaluation, while in the same time are making a comparison between the two generations.
