LP POSITION EVALUATION

Sitting at a desk is the equivalent of smoking for our generation. (Nilofer Merchant, TED Talks).

Sitting posture at the desk is the main cause of spinal conditions among corporate employees. The problems that develop over time range from simple, recoverable ones to conditions that require surgical intervention. It is in your power to maintain your health. Evaluate your current situation, start a corrective kinetotherapy plan if needed, and learn the correct desk posture, in order to avoid future problems.




If you recognize yourself in image 1 or 3, you too need an evaluation of your spine's condition, before back pain occurs.

Come to Centrokinetic for an evaluation with GPS400, the most modern postural analysis device, offered together with a recovery kinetotherapy plan made according to internationally standardized medical protocols.

How GPS400 works

The postural evaluation begins with an examination of the patient's medical history, since this is the starting point toward a correct diagnosis and treatment. This is followed by the physical evaluation – a musculo-articular assessment for all the major joints, specific tests for the spine, static and dynamic observation of the body from all 3 planes – frontal, sagittal, and transverse. The evaluation of muscle tone is also an extremely important element in subsequently establishing a treatment plan.

After the physical evaluation, we begin the computerized evaluation by photographing the patient from the front, left and right profile, and from the back, and we look for possible spinal deficiencies in the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes.

We look at:

• Head position
• Shoulder alignment
• Shoulder blade position
• Sternum malformations
• Position of the anterior superior iliac spines
• Waist line
• Pelvis position
• Knee anatomy – valgus or varus
• Foot position – flat, cavus, valgus
• Spine in the sagittal plane – kyphosis, lordosis

All this data helps in establishing an extremely complex kinetotherapy program, individualized for each patient.

IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW US

Centrokinetic is the most advanced medical clinic dedicated to osteoarticular conditions, organized into several specialized departments:

• Orthopedics: made up of a highly experienced team of orthopedic doctors, led by Dr. Andrei Ioan Bogdan, senior orthopedics-traumatology physician with surgical activity at Floreasca Emergency Clinical Hospital and Medlife Orthopedics Hospital, specialized in sports traumatology and in ankle and foot surgery.
• Pediatric orthopedics, where we treat children's sports conditions (ligament and meniscus injuries), spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, hyperlordosis), and foot conditions (hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, clubfoot, flat valgus foot, cavus foot).
• Neurology, performing consultations and EMG within the department. The medical team is completed by dr. Mardare, who received advanced specialization at the University of Oxford in spinal surgery.
• Medical recovery, for children and adults, the department being led by one of the most experienced physicians in the field, senior lecturer dr. Tache Georgiana. The department specializes in the recovery of performance athletes, in spinal conditions, and in the recovery of children with neurological and traumatic conditions.
• Medical imaging, the clinic being equipped with ultrasound and MRI, dedicated to musculoskeletal conditions. We are proud of our medical team of radiologists, made up of dr. Ghiea Sorin, dr. Pantu Cosmin, dr. Florescu Nicoleta, specialized in musculoskeletal imaging.
