Postural Deviations

* The importance of carrying out a detailed body analysis & relevant tests is so that you can pick up on any posture faults, avoid any areas which may be contra indicated and you are able to give them information on ways to improve their posture. It is important to carry out relevant tests such as cold or hot and sharp and blunt so that you are sure the client can feel the difference. This also prevents you from harming your client if they can feel something within the treatment which feels painful.

When moving and positioning an individual it is important to ensure they are not moved more than their body is capable of, as muscles can only move bones at the joint as far as the joint allows. It is also important to move and handle correctly to ensure nerve fibres are not damaged as they are delicate structures and also important as they send impulses to muscles which enables the muscles to contract and relax. When an individual is moved and positioned it is important this happens smoothly. Sudden movements or pulling in any direction of an individual’s limbs or

Jane E. Brody claims that posture is important since it also affects your standing, not just the physical kind. She uses her personal experiences as her evidence to support her claim. In the editorial she says "I bought my current vehicle, largely because I was immediately comfortable when I got behind the wheel for a test drive. My entire back was supported, so not a twinge was felt there, unlike what happens in many other cars." She immediately got the car that she is comfortable using because she knows, having a good posture may affect her driving.

problems affecting posture or balance is unclear, with not clinical consensus. It is unclear why dynamic

Me: As I performed the posture test on myself I already knew that I would have proper posture. Due to the fact that when I was younger, I looked in the mirror and noticed that I had a slouchy posture. I had (Lordosis) and an anterior pelvic tilt, which made me look awful from a side point of view. I wanted to fix my posture and learned that I had weak abdominal muscles and tight hamstrings along with weak gluteus maximus muscles. As I learned how to fix my problem, I began doing exercises for those muscles for flexibility and strength gains. For my exercises in detail I began standing for a long period of time and would flex my gluteus maximus muscles and keep them tight for a period of time to strengthen them which would be for a few minutes. This fixed the slight curve in my lower back. The next step I performed was the same as with my gluteus maximus muscles but for my abs which helped keep a good posture naturally without thinking about my posture deviations and how to fix them. I could now begin to stand naturally with a good posture. The last step I did was stand against a wall with my back and neck flat against the wall and I would press my tongue against the top of my mouth to

Six standing trials include 1) single dominant leg stance on a firm surface (SDFS), 2) single non-dominant leg stance on a firm surface (SNDFS), 3) double leg stance on a firm surface (DFS), 4) single dominant leg stance on a wobble board (SDWB), 5) single non-dominant leg stance on a wobble board (SNDWB), and 6) double leg stance on a wobble board (DWB). The order of the standing trials will be randomized. A two minute testing period will be recorded for each standing condition. During testing, participants will be instructed to position barefoot with the hands akimbo for as still as possible for both a firm surface and a wobble board conditions. During all one leg stance trials, participants will be instructed to flex the knee of the contralateral

(1) To what extent is my general posture and ready position appropriate? (At a minimum, please address body, head, arm, hand, and eyes.)

In Jane Brody's article she describes on how you could maintain a good posture with some tips and tricks. In the article Brody makes it seem more about how slouching affects her more than taking accounts from others such as doctors. But either way she still manages to get through to some good points. Such as how people who slouch over show a sign of weakness,"Poor posture can leave you vulnerable to street crime". It's significant because posture can determine whether you're confident or you're actually scared for some reason. Though Brody may not give more than a couple of encounters she still does a decent job on how she does her research on this topic.

White assumed the instructional stance and I told him to stay in that position until I told him to start, White said he understood.I explained and demonstrated the instructional stance and asked if he understood the instructions, White said he did. During this evaluation White was swaying while trying to balance. White also used his arms greater than six inches to gain balance. White had to hop to keep from falling over at one point during the test. White also put his foot down more than once and switched feet twice. During this evaluation I observed 4 clues.

In Jane Brody's article 'Posture affects standing and not just the physical kind", Amy Cuddy's article "Your iphone is ruining your posture and your mood", and in Glenn E. Weisfeld and Jody M. Beresford's research paper "Erectness of posture as an indicator of dominance of success in humans", all authors provide evidence that supports their argument. The authors provide evidence from various sources to make their argument credible. The authors also include logos, pathos and ethos to their arguments to make them more interesting and attractive to readers.

For shoulder flexion 61% of the variance could be accounted for by the sit-and-reach. A correlation was also found between the modified sit-and-reach test and both the shoulder extension and hip flexion tests. For shoulder extension 33% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit-and-reach and for hip flexion 22% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit-and-reach.

Static postures (also known as static loading) refer to the physical exertion in which the same posture or position is held through the application. These types of exertions put increased forces on the muscles and tendons, which contributes to fatigue. This occurs because not moving impedes the flow of blood that is needed to bring nutrients to the muscle and to carry away the waste products of muscle

Breathe in, while slowly lifting your lower back, middle back and upper back off the floor. Gently roll in your shoulders. Touch your chest to your chin without bringing the chin down. Support your weight with your shoulders, arms and feet. Feel your buttocks firm up in this pose. Both your thighs should be parallel to each other and to the floor.

By using this method it enables the therapists to predict patterns of weaknesses and tightnesses in the muscular tone, thus creating imbalances in the muscular system and further causing dysfunction in the body's movements.
