Dr Piera Santullo
Consultant in Rehabilitation
Postural and Pressometric Assessment involves evaluating body alignment, balance, weight distribution and pressure patterns during standing, walking or sitting. Assessments may use pressure-sensitive platforms, gait analysis and other specialist equipment to identify abnormal loading, postural instability and mobility difficulties. Findings can inform rehabilitation, orthotic provision, seating recommendations and pressure management. Independent Postural and Pressometric Assessment Expert Witnesses can provide specialist opinions on assessment methods, interpretation of results, functional impairment, injury-related changes, rehabilitation needs, causation and prognosis in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence cases.
