Postural examination consists of three parts: examining alignment in standing, testing flexibility and muscle length, and testing muscle strength. The document outlines various methods for assessing posture, including visual observation, plumbline, goniometry, photography, radiography, and photogrammetry. It also covers assessing body type, different views of posture, flexibility tests, and using the information to determine weak muscles and potential underlying pathologies.
