Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing—whether that's putting together a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or picking up a new tool. No matter your goal, the best content on the topic is already out there. But it's often in another language, expensive, scattered, lacking hands-on activities, or buried in courses that are too long for busy people. That's why Dedika has its own approach: we find the best material wherever it is, organize what fits your goals, review it with experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You matter most in your learning journey, and no one knows it better than you do. Choose the content and course length, decide if you want to learn online or offline, and pick your preferred format—video, text, audio, or summary. It's your way, with only what makes sense for you. Here, every moment you dedicate counts for more, and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, from which you can download a PDF and print it.

Course Content

8 Chapters • 38 LessonsDuration between 4 and 360 hours (you decide)

Chapter 1See details

Foundations of Posturology

Lesson 1 • The Postural System Overview
The postural system is introduced as a multi-sensory regulatory network. Students understand how inputs converge to maintain upright stance.
Lesson 2 • Defining Posturology as a Discipline
Posturology is defined within the broader context of health sciences. This grounds students in its scope, history, and distinction from related fields.
Lesson 3 • Biomechanical Principles of Posture
Core biomechanical concepts underpin all postural analysis. Students apply principles of gravity, alignment, and load distribution to the human body.
Lesson 4 • Professional and Ethical Framework
Ethical practice standards and professional boundaries are established early. Students identify scope of practice and referral responsibilities.
Lesson 5 • Neurological Basis of Postural Control
Postural control is regulated by neurological feedback loops. Students trace sensorimotor pathways relevant to clinical posturological work.

Chapter 2See details

Postural Receptors and Sensory Inputs

Lesson 1 • Stomatognathic and Dental Receptors
The jaw and dental occlusion are underrecognized postural inputs. Students connect occlusal imbalances to cervical and spinal postural patterns.
Lesson 2 • Ocular and Oculomotor Receptors
Visual and oculomotor inputs significantly influence postural tone. Students assess how eye muscle imbalances create postural compensations.
Lesson 3 • The Podal Receptor System
The foot is a primary postural receptor zone with high clinical relevance. Students analyze plantar pressure distribution and its systemic postural effects.
Lesson 4 • Vestibular and Skin Receptor Inputs
Vestibular and cutaneous receptors complete the sensory input picture. Students integrate these inputs into a comprehensive receptor assessment model.
Lesson 5 • Proprioceptors and Mechanoreceptors
Proprioceptors provide continuous positional feedback to the postural system. Students classify receptor types and their roles in postural regulation.

Chapter 3See details

Postural Assessment Methods

Lesson 1 • Intake Interview and Case History
A structured case history contextualizes objective findings within the patient's lived experience. Students conduct targeted interviews to identify postural history and triggers.
Lesson 2 • Functional Movement Screening
Functional tests reveal dynamic postural compensations not visible at rest. Students administer and score movement screens relevant to posturological diagnosis.
Lesson 3 • Stabilometric Platform Assessment
Stabilometry quantifies postural sway and center-of-pressure displacement. Students operate stabilometric platforms and interpret output data clinically.
Lesson 4 • Observational Postural Analysis
Visual observation is the foundational assessment tool in posturology. Students apply a structured protocol to identify alignment deviations in all planes.
Lesson 5 • Postural Photography and Grid Analysis
Photographic documentation provides objective baseline and progress data. Students apply grid-based analysis to standardized postural photographs.

Chapter 4See details

Postural Chains and Compensation Patterns

Lesson 1 • Pelvic Imbalance and Spinal Compensation
Pelvic asymmetry is a central hub of postural compensation. Students analyze how pelvic tilt and rotation drive spinal and lower-limb adaptations.
Lesson 2 • Ascending and Descending Postural Chains
Postural dysfunction can originate from the foot upward or the cranium downward. Students differentiate ascending from descending chain patterns in clinical cases.
Lesson 3 • Cervical and Cranial Compensation
The cervical spine and cranium adapt to lower-chain imbalances, creating head and neck symptoms. Students connect cervical findings to primary receptor dysfunction.
Lesson 4 • Myofascial Chain Theory
Myofascial chains transmit tension and compensation throughout the body. Students trace anterior, posterior, and lateral chains in clinical postural contexts.
Lesson 5 • Reading Compensation Patterns Clinically
Integrating chain knowledge into clinical reasoning distinguishes primary causes from secondary adaptations. Students practice case-based pattern recognition exercises.

Chapter 5See details

Podal Orthotic Intervention

Lesson 1 • Principles of Proprioceptive Insoles
Proprioceptive insoles modify plantar receptor input to recalibrate postural tone. Students distinguish postural insoles from standard orthopedic arch supports.
Lesson 2 • Follow-Up and Insole Progression
Postural insoles require periodic reassessment as the system adapts. Students design follow-up schedules and criteria for insole modification or replacement.
Lesson 3 • Stabilometric Data Interpretation for Insoles
Stabilometric findings directly guide insole element placement. Students translate platform data into specific receptor stimulation prescriptions.
Lesson 4 • Fitting, Testing, and Adjustment
Insole effectiveness is verified through immediate postural retesting. Students apply a test-retest protocol to confirm and refine insole prescriptions.
Lesson 5 • Insole Fabrication Techniques
Hands-on fabrication skills are developed using clinical-grade materials. Students construct insoles with precise element positioning based on individual prescriptions.

Ocular and Oculomotor Interventions

Lesson 1 • Prismatic Lens Applications
Prismatic lenses modify visual input to correct oculomotor-postural imbalances. Students understand the principles of prism prescription within posturology.
Lesson 2 • Interdisciplinary Referral for Ocular Cases
Complex ocular findings require specialist collaboration beyond posturology scope. Students identify referral thresholds and communicate clinical findings effectively.
Lesson 3 • Oculomotor Rehabilitation Exercises
Targeted eye exercises improve oculomotor control and reduce postural sway. Students prescribe and supervise evidence-informed oculomotor training programs.
Lesson 4 • Clinical Ocular Postural Assessment
Specific tests identify oculomotor contributions to postural imbalance. Students administer and interpret ocular screening protocols within posturological practice.

Chapter 7See details

Stomatognathic and Dental Interventions

Lesson 1 • Occlusal Assessment in Posturology
Occlusal imbalances are assessed for their postural impact using specific clinical tests. Students apply posturological screening tools to identify jaw-driven dysfunction.
Lesson 2 • Coordinating with Dental Professionals
Effective co-management with dentists and orthodontists optimizes outcomes. Students develop communication skills and shared treatment planning competencies.
Lesson 3 • Postural Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints modify jaw receptor input to improve postural alignment. Students understand splint types, their postural rationale, and monitoring protocols.
Lesson 4 • Temporomandibular Joint Evaluation
TMJ dysfunction is a frequent contributor to cervical and postural symptoms. Students perform basic TMJ screening and identify signs requiring dental referral.
