title: [Body posture and craniofacial morphology].
abstract: The body posture has been studied according to the craniofacial morphology. A cephalometric analysis (lateral cephalometric radiographs) and a stabilometric recording of the posture with a vertical force platform have been done for 45 individuals: 17 boys and 28 girls aged 9 to 16 years. Cephalometric sagittal and transverse variables show no correlation with the sagittal position of the center of foot pressure. It seems that mild to moderate dentofacial deformities do not reflect on the posture of the body as a whole.
