What is the primary purpose of postural assessments?

  1. Isolating significant injuries

  2. Motivating the client

  3. Establishing a baseline

  4. Improving cardiovascular fitness

The correct answer is: Establishing a baseline

Postural assessments are typically used to observe and evaluate one's posture and determine any imbalances or deviations from ideal posture. The primary purpose of these assessments is to establish a baseline, or starting point, for monitoring changes in posture over time. Option A, isolating significant injuries, may be a side benefit of postural assessments, but it is not the primary purpose. Option B, motivating the client, and option D, improving cardiovascular fitness, are not related to postural assessments and are therefore incorrect.
