Exaggeration of anterior convex curve of lumbar spine
Lordosis
Increased convexity in curvature of thoracic spine
Kyphosis
Lateral S- or C-shaped spinal column with vertebral rotation, unequal heights of hips and shoulders
Scoliosis
Upper extremities flexed at the elbows and held close to the body; lower extremities externally rotated and extended
Decorticate posture (hemiplegic posture)
Increased tone in extensor muscles and trunk muscles, with active tonic neck reflexes
Decerebrate posture
Maintenance of an abnormal posture through muscular contractions may last several seconds to weeks; long term, can cause permanent, fixed contractures
Dystonia
Stooped, hyperflexed posture with a narrow-based, short-stepped gait; due to loss of normal postural reflexes
Basal ganglion posture

What stage of infection is this? Incubation Period
1st - The time between exposure to the pathogen and the onset of symptoms.
What stage of infection is this? Prodromal Stage
2nd- Mild, nonspecific symptoms may appear, such as fever, headache, or fatigue.
What stage of infection is this? Illness Stage
3rd - Full-blown symptoms develop, specific to the type of pathogen.
What stage of infection is this? Convalescence Stage
4th - The body fully recovers and returns to normal health.
