Posture is important for people with advanced multiple sclerosis (MS) to improve function and quality of life while minimizing secondary complications. A basic posture assessment examines the position of the pelvis, legs, trunk and other body areas both sitting and lying down. Simple strategies like using foam supports can help correct poor posture and maintain good alignment. Regularly changing position is also important to prevent damage, especially when lying down. With early intervention and management, posture can be optimized to maximize an individual's abilities despite the progression of MS.
This document discusses human posture and provides information on proper and improper posture. It begins by defining posture and listing the components of proper posture using the acronym POSTURE. It then classifies postures as inactive, active static, or active dynamic. Key points include:
- Proper posture, known as correct posture, distributes weight evenly and keeps joints stable while maintaining upright ribs, retracted shoulders, and ears over shoulders.
- Common faulty postures include lordotic, kyphotic, scoliotic, swayback, and flat back postures, each with different causes and potential sources of pain.
- Maintaining good posture requires strong core muscles as well as flexibility in joints and surrounding tissues. Exercises target
Posture is a “position or attitude of the body a relative arrangement of body part
for a specific activity or a characteristic manner of bearing the body”.
Posture - a perquisite for functional abilities in daily life. Posture is a combination of anatomy and physiology with inherent application of bio-mechanics and kinematics. Sitting, standing, walking are all functional activities depending on the ability of the body to support that posture to carry out each activity. Injuries and pathologies either postural or structural can massively change the bio-mechanics of posture and thus affect functional abilities.
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.
This presentation by Wendy Hendrie, Specialist physiotherapist in MS at the Norwich MS Centre, looks at why posture is important and provides information about assessment as well as case studies.
It was presented at the MS Trust Annual Conference in November 2014.
POSITIONING.pptx for GNM first year Nursing studentsroy456393
Positioning involves placing a patient in various body alignments to promote health, comfort, and the ability to perform medical procedures. The goals of positioning are to relieve pressure, improve circulation, prevent deformities, and allow for assessments and interventions. Factors such as a patient's needs, abilities, disease, and consciousness level must be considered when determining the appropriate position. Common positions include supine, lateral, prone, and Fowler's position, each used for different medical purposes and procedures. Careful positioning is important for patient comfort and skin integrity.
This document discusses different standing yoga postures and their alignment principles. It begins by introducing Tadasana/Samastatahi (Mountain Pose) as the seed pose for all standing postures. It describes the key components of foundation through the four corners of the feet, dynamic alignment of the joints, and achieving anatomical neutral posture. It then provides more details on foundation, joint placement, dynamic alignment, and the differences between neutral, open, and semi-open hip positions. Examples are given for each type of hip position including postures like warrior 1, triangle pose, and tree pose.

This document discusses postural deformities, specifically kyphosis. It defines kyphosis as an exaggerated outward curvature of the thoracic spine, resulting in a hump on the back. Causes of kyphosis include lack of strength in the back extensor muscles, a forward neck position, and overstretching of the cervical muscles. Recommended exercises to address kyphosis focus on strengthening the back extensors and maintaining a neutral spine position.
This document provides information about the proper form and alignment for forward bends in yoga. It discusses the seed pose or starting position for forward bends, with the feet placed firmly on the ground and joints stacked over each other. Key aspects of alignment include having the second toe facing forward, the knee aligned over the ankle, and the hands or fingertips touching the floor with the spine flexed. The document also notes that forward bends should flex the spine and not hyperextend the back or hips. It provides the functional range of motion for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine during forward bends.
Pediatric physical therapists specialize in treating children from birth to age 18 who have mobility issues due to injuries, illnesses, or genetic/neurological disorders. They help with development of movement skills, motor learning, balance, coordination, and adaptation of daily activities. Normal motor development progresses from primitive reflexes to integration of postural reflexes, righting reactions, equilibrium reactions, and eventually higher level skills. By 15 months, the motor system has matured to proficiency in basic motor functions, providing the basis for further sensorimotor development.
This document describes various positions derived from standing that are used in physical therapy. It discusses 15 specific positions including wing standing, low wing standing, bend standing, and lunge standing. For each position, it outlines the muscle activity involved, effects on the body, and therapeutic applications. The overall purpose is to explain how modifications to the basic standing position can achieve different therapeutic goals through changes in balance, range of motion, or muscle engagement.
Postural deviation in different planes.pptxAvaniAkbari
Postural deviation refers to any abnormal alignment or positioning of the body's joints and structures while standing, sitting, or moving. These deviations can occur due to a variety of factors, including muscle imbalances, skeletal abnormalities, poor posture habits, injuries, or neurological conditions. Postural deviations can affect people of all ages and can lead to discomfort, pain, reduced mobility, and functional limitations if left unaddressed.
There are several common types of postural deviations:
*Kyphosis: This is an excessive curvature of the upper back, leading to a rounded or hunched posture. It can result from factors such as poor sitting habits, weak back muscles, or structural abnormalities in the spine.
*Lordosis: Lordosis is an exaggerated inward curvature of the lower back, often causing the pelvis to tilt forward and the abdomen to protrude. Factors contributing to lordosis include tight hip flexors, weak abdominal muscles, obesity, or pregnancy.
*Scoliosis: Scoliosis is characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, which can cause the shoulders, hips, or waist to appear uneven. It can be congenital or develop during growth spurts in adolescence.
*Forward head posture: This occurs when the head juts forward from its ideal alignment with the spine. It can be caused by prolonged sitting, excessive screen time, weak neck muscles, or carrying heavy backpacks.
*Flat feet: Flat feet, or pes planus, is a condition where the arches of the feet collapse, causing the entire foot to make contact with the ground. This can lead to altered gait patterns and contribute to knee, hip, and back pain.
*Knock knees and bow legs: Knock knees (genu valgum) is when the knees angle inward, while bow legs (genu varum) is when the knees angle outward. These deviations can be due to genetic factors, abnormal bone growth, or muscle imbalances around the knees.
*Uneven shoulders or hips: A noticeable difference in the height or alignment of the shoulders or hips can indicate postural deviations such as scoliosis, muscle imbalances, or leg length discrepancies
