Moir\u00e9 topography (MT) seems to be a viable alternative to radiographic research in evaluating the spine and\/or trunk deviations. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the current knowledge regarding the reliability and validity of Moir\u00e9 topography as a screening and diagnostic tool. The systematic review was performed from 2010 until March 2021 in the PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, according to the eligibility criteria. This review fulfilled the following criteria according to the PICO system: population (children and adolescents), intervention (MT measurement), comparison (repeated MT measurements, MT compared to Cobb angle or scoliometer), outcome (reliability and validity of MT). Eight studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria for further analysis. All the studies were assessed to be of high quality. Included studies found that MT had high repeatability and high intraobserver and interobserver correlation, and correlation between MT parameters and radiographic Cobb angle ranged from moderate to high. The authors reported difficulty in defining the cut-off values for MT parameter (Surface Trunk Rotation\u2014STR), and unsatisfactory sensitivity and specificity of MT examination. The studies did not reveal the advantage of MT as a screening method in the detection of idiopathic scoliosis in comparison to radiograph. Based on the evidence from eight studies, the results indicated moderate evidence for reliability and validity of Moir\u00e9 topography as a screening and diagnostic tool. There is still no strong evidence for the accuracy of MT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0260858","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]],"date-time":"2021-12-02T19:50:04Z","timestamp":1638474604000},"page":"e0260858","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Moir\u00e9 topography as a screening and diagnostic tool\u2014A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6070-1210","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marta Kinga","family":"Labecka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5011-794X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Plandowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0260858.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1186\/s13013-018-0151-5","article-title":"Non-structural misalignments of body posture in the sagittal plane","volume":"13","author":"D Czaprowski","year":"2018","journal-title":"Scoliosis Spinal Disord"},{"key":"pone.0260858.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s13047-016-0144-7","article-title":"The relationship between foot posture, body mass, age and ankle, lower-limb and whole-body flexibility in healthy children aged 7 to 15 years","volume":"9","author":"F Hawke","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
