Modeling the Posture-Movement Continuum: Predictive Mapping of Spinopelvic Control Across Gait Speeds.

ABSTRACT: Background: This study investigated how static postural parameters influence dynamic spinopelvic balance across varying walking speeds. One hundred healthy young adults (aged 18-25) underwent rasterstereographic assessment (DIERS 4Dmotion^®) to quantify static global alignment metrics including craniovertebral angle (CVA), Q-angle, sagittal and coronal imbalance, pelvic rotation, torsion, obliquity, vertebral rotation, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, and pelvic tilt, followed by dynamic spinopelvic analysis during treadmill walking at 1, 2, 4, and 5 km/h. Methods: Multiple linear regression models were used to determine the predictive value of static postural measures for dynamic outcomes at each speed. At slower walking speeds (1-2 km/h), static alignment varia
