Abstract
The aim of this study is to observe how the posture is affected by maxillofacial fractures and how it is improved after maxillofacial surgery. The procedure for all tests is non-invasive and it's formed by a Multi Sensor Electronic Baropodometric Platform, a PodoScanalyzer (2D), the D.B.I.S Software witch calculates the values of the B.P.I. Index, Body Analysis Kaptur System and Dynamic Image System. Using the Baropodometer we evaluate the balance of the human body, oscillations of the pressure centre, visual information of poor posture. a group of 10 patients with different maxilla fractures were investigated before surgery and after. For each patient there were made two analyses. A dynamic analysis which determined how the maxilla fracture affects the walking, and how it is improved after the surgery, and a stabilometry analysis which determined how the maxilla fracture affects the standing posture of the body, and how it is improved after the surgery. As conclusions, the body posture is affected by the maxillofacial fractures and improves after the surgery.
