RESUMO
The use of computational tools for postural evaluation has been very valuable in the detection of postural changes, however the use of these programs requires complex hardware structures and involves high costs for researchers in physiotherapy, physical education and the scientific community. In 2005, the Postural Assessment Software (SAPO) became to be a free option for the same purpose, widely used by the scientific community and professional with excellent documented results. Despite the success of SAPO in the scientific community, this software has limitations. So, the purpose of this study is to develop a software called ApLoB (Postural Assessment Laboratory of Biophysics) for postural assessment, having as parameter the development SAPO, but trying to collaborate on the overcome of its limitations. For this reason, its development is based on the structures and methods established by the software engineering that allow continuity of work and improved functionality. The software was developed using the Python programming language, scientific and NumPy extensions, the library of image processing (PIL), the application for graphical interfaces (PyQt), as well as data plotting library of 2D and application development signal processing (Guiqwt), among others. The prototype obtained was tested and its functionality was found to be acceptable, compared to SAPO
