Knowledge on how workers perceive and associate their postures for trunk flexion with respect to linguistic categories, could allow for the development of simple and valid instruments for self-assessment and for more effective postural training. Considerable time and expense could be saved if reliable self-assessments were available. This study describes the anterior flexion angles of the trunk adopted by individuals according to linguistic categories (mild, moderate and severe) and registered by photograph. The postures were compared with postural recording protocols. Twenty sedentary individuals (10 male and 10 female) and 12 industrial female workers (6 healthy and 6 low back sufferers) participated. Subjects were capable of discriminating linguistic postural categories, since they adopted different trunk postures when distinct categories were requested (p< 0.0001). However, the individual variability was high for each category estimated. This could explain, at least in part, the low level of agreement between self-assessment and observational studies.
