Correct posture maintains the natural curves of the spine and places minimal stress on joints, while faulty posture increases stress and can lead to muscle imbalances and circulatory issues. Factors that can influence posture include growth spurts, muscle imbalances, habits, structural anomalies, and trauma or disease. The spine has primary curves in the thoracic and sacral regions and secondary curves in the cervical and lumbar regions. Deviations from normal spinal curves can cause muscle imbalances. Maintaining proper spinal alignment from the front and side views is important for functional symmetry during activity with low joint stress. Identifying postural problems allows for corrective exercises, increased activity, muscle strengthening, and screening for other health issues.

Balance Basics
Balance refers to controlling body mass and is influenced by factors like posture, stability limits, and mobility. It requires both dynamic postural control when moving and anticipating obstacles, as well as static postural control when standing still using ankle, hip, or step strategies. Maintaining balance engages multiple systems, including the sensory systems of vision, somatosensation, and vestibular function; motor skills; and cognitive abilities like problem-solving and multitasking.
Smith-Merrill Posture_Gait Assessment
This document summarizes an assessment of gait and posture for a participant. The assessment identified some minor deviations including a slight left lean, rounded shoulders, and a forward head position. Possible causes were identified as tightness in certain muscles and weakness in opposing muscles. Corrections suggested included stretching, strengthening, and exercises. Minor deviations were also noted in the participant's walking and running gait. Recommendations to address pain and improve kinetic motion were provided.
Muscles and movement
The document discusses the muscular system and how muscles function. It explains that muscles contract and relax to cause movement, with antagonistic muscle pairs like the biceps and triceps working together. Voluntary muscles are controlled by the brain and nervous system to allow movements like running, jumping, and walking. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, fresh air, and pure water can help keep muscles healthy.
Squat jump Biomechanics
- The study examined the effects of gastrocnemius (calf muscle) fatigue on ankle joint kinetics during the squat jump in 5 trained male basketball players.
- Participants performed squat jumps before and after a calf raise protocol to induce gastrocnemius fatigue. Kinematic and kinetic data of the foot segment was analyzed.
- Results showed no significant difference in foot segment power between pre- and post-fatigue jumps, indicating that bi-articular muscle fatigue did not reduce segmental kinetics.
- The conclusion is that the gastrocnemius acts to transfer energy between segments rather than generate work, so its fatigue did not decrease ankle joint power during the squat jump.

Best squat depth for glute activation
This document summarizes a study that examined electromyography (EMG) activity in the gluteus maximus and other leg muscles during back squats of varying depths. The study found that gluteus maximus activity increased with deeper squat depth during the concentric phase, but not the eccentric phase. However, the author argues the study has limitations and its conclusions cannot be relied on. Relative loading across depths made comparisons difficult, and anomalous EMG data for one muscle could have skewed the results. More research is needed to determine how squat depth affects muscle activation.
Muscle review
Muscles work by contracting to pull on bones and cause movement, with an opposing muscle relaxing at the same time. Muscles can act as agonists that cause movement or antagonists that oppose it, and some act as stabilizers. The document then lists key muscles in the upper and lower body, and explains that muscles attach to bones across joints, with their origin closer to the trunk and insertion further from the body.

It describes cardiac muscle in the heart and two muscle diseases: polio which causes inflammation and paralysis through virus transmission, and muscular dystrophy where the body cannot produce needed proteins for healthy muscles leading to weakness over time. Proper muscle care involves a balanced diet with proteins, exercise, and rest.
Chapter 3 - Assessment of Posture.ppt
Posture is the position of the body at a given point in time. Correct posture can improve performance and health, while faulty posture increases stress on joints and tissues. Postural assessment determines if deviations are contributing to a patient's pain or dysfunction. It involves inspection from multiple views and palpation of landmarks to identify deviations like hyperpronation, genu recurvatum, or muscle imbalances. Documentation includes noting deviations and their interrelationships to fully understand their impact.
Running without pain
Running form is key to avoiding foot pain. Maintaining a stable pelvis through engaged abdominal muscles prevents the upper body from leaning forward and reduces stress on the feet. Allowing the foot to land underneath the body in-line with proper form keeps the foot from overpronating and the toes from gripping the ground, avoiding injuries.

posture.pptx
Posture refers to the alignment of the body parts and is influenced by many factors. The spine has four curves - two primary curves in the posterior direction and two compensatory curves in the anterior direction. Good postural alignment involves maintaining a plumb line that passes through the body's surface landmarks. Posture is maintained through the interaction of the passive structures like bones and ligaments, active muscles, and neural control. Factors like age, pregnancy, occupation, handedness, muscle tightness/weakness, and obesity can impact one's posture. Developing good postural habits is important to avoid pain and dysfunction.
Posture
Posture refers to the alignment of the body parts when standing in a relaxed stance. Good posture involves training the body to stand, sit and lie in positions that place the least strain on supporting muscles and ligaments. There is no single definition of "normal" posture as everyone's body is different. Maintaining proper posture can help decrease joint stress and strain, prevent back pain, and contribute to a good appearance. Poor posture is corrected through exercises and therapies that realign the body and strengthen weak muscles. Daily posture exercises can help reinforce good habits and balance.

POSTURE AND YOU.pptx
Poor posture can develop from injuries, diseases, habits, weakness, improper clothing, lack of exercise, occupation, pregnancy, pain, obesity, joint dysfunction, stress, central nervous system disorders, overwork, prolonged postures, and muscle fatigue. Poor posture can lead to sore muscles, spinal curvature changes, subluxations, blood vessel constriction, and nerve compression. Physiotherapy can help assess, diagnose, educate, and treat poor posture through manual therapy, exercises, and activity modifications. Maintaining good posture involves sitting, standing, lifting, and lying in ways that keep the spine's natural curves in alignment. Immediate attention to poor posture is needed to prevent long-term postural defects.
Balance Lecture
This document discusses balance and vestibular rehabilitation. It explains that balance relies on the integration of the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. Deficits in any part of the kinetic chain from the foot to the trunk can impair balance. Rehabilitation of various areas like the ankle, knee, pelvis, and hip can help address weaknesses and improve balance. The balance system can become deficient due to illness, injury, or medications, forcing the brain to rely more on vision which can lead to an inefficient gait and increased falls risk for older adults. Regular exercise and physical therapy if needed can help prevent falls by maintaining strength and mobility throughout the kinetic chain.
Posture in biomech.pptx
This document defines and describes different types of posture including static, dynamic, and ideal posture. It explains that posture results from the interaction of muscles, bones, and ligaments working together. Static posture maintains a constant position while dynamic posture adjusts with movement. Ideal posture minimizes strain and maximizes support. The document then describes common faulty postures involving the head, neck, shoulders, trunk, and pelvis. It details how different muscle imbalances can lead to issues like forward head, sway back, military-type posture, and lower crossed syndrome. The document also discusses scoliosis and how it is detected.
Backward bending asanas
Backward bending asanas are postures that equip the body to face the world in a stimulating and extroverted manner. They expand the chest and encourage inhalation, associating them with embracing life. These dynamic postures performed against gravity require strength and energy. On a physical level, they extend abdominal muscles, tone spine muscles, and decompress spinal nerves to benefit the body. Subconscious tensions are often reflected in uneven back muscle tone, leading to spinal issues if imbalances persist. Practicing a balanced regime of backward and forward bends can revise postural issues and muscle imbalances in the spine. Backward bends also help circulate and purify blood in the back region while toning related organs.
Posture presentation: An Important point in personal development

Proper form and technique are important when building core stability.

This document provides an overview of spinal anatomy and common causes of back pain. It begins by reviewing the regions and typical numbers of vertebrae in the neck, mid-back, and low back. Common issues like rib dysfunctions, sacroiliac joint problems, and generalized low back pain are then discussed. Specific conditions like spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, and facet impingement are also defined. Throughout, the document emphasizes understanding spinal mechanics and how addressing muscle imbalances can help accommodate and prevent back issues.
Working posture
Posture is defined as "the position or bearing of the body" (Webster’s Medical Dictionary ) and refers to the overall alignment of the various body parts to each other when the person is standing in a relaxed stance.

The document discusses the three major motor pathways in the central nervous system and the types of movements mediated by each. The pathways are the corticospinal or pyramidal tract which mediates voluntary, skilled movements, the extrapyramidal tracts which maintain muscle tone and control body movements, and the cerebellar system which coordinates movement and maintains equilibrium and posture. It also describes tests to assess the motor system including muscle tone, strength, coordination and balance.
Body mechanics, mobility and body alignment introduction
This document discusses mobility, body alignment, and body mechanics. It defines mobility as body movement requiring coordination between musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Body alignment refers to proper joint, ligament, and muscle positioning when standing, sitting, or lying down. Body mechanics is the safe use of the body through correct posture, balance, and movement to safely lift and move objects and people. Maintaining proper body alignment and mechanics is important for physiological function, injury prevention, and nursing care safety.
The Skeletal System
The document provides an overview of the human skeletal system, including its main functions, anatomical terminology, bone locations, types of joints, and movements. It describes the 206 bones in the human body, including the 80 bones that make up the axial skeleton (cranium, vertebrae, ribs, sternum) and 126 bones of the appendicular skeleton (extremities, pelvis). Key bones, landmarks, and motions of the shoulder, arm, pelvis, thigh, leg, foot are defined.
