Q

what are the effects of bipedal stance

A

inc heart rate
develops secondary curves

Q

relate posture and COG

A

COG is dependent on body pos and it will affect posture

control mechanism will be made to adjust

Q

describe postural control in knee

A

LOG passes anterior to knee axis that creates an extension moment

posterior knee ligaments and posterior capsule will prevent hyperextension

soleus can also help by pulling tibia backwards

Q

describe postural control in lumbar spine

A

LOG passes posterior = excessive lumbar lordosis

counteracted by abdominal muscles

30
Q

describe postural control in thoracic spine

A

LOG passes anterior = erector spinae, traps, temporalis and soleus counteracts excessive kyphosis

31
Q

describe postural control in cervical spine

A

LOG posterior - anterior cervical muscles and passive structures will counteract

32
Q

describe postural control in mandible

A

gravity pulls in down but temporalis counteracts it

33
Q

describe good posture

A

minimal COG development
less muscle activities and less support from passive structures

34
Q

describe poor posture

A

excessive COG displacement
more muscle contraction and more stress on passive structures

35
Q

describe poor posture

A

excessive COG displacement
more muscle contraction and more stress on passive structures

35
Q

describe poor posture

A

excessive COG displacement
more muscle contraction and more stress on passive structures

36
Q

effects of poor posture

A

muscles might get fatigued = strain

over stretch of passive structures = sprain

mag kaka postural pain syndrome

37
Q

functional tasks to assess posture and balance during sitting

A

steady state - berg 1 sit

reactive - nudge

proactive - berg 2 sit-to-stand

38
Q

functional tasks to assess posture and balance during standing

A

steady state - berg 3 stand

reactive - nudge

proactive - berg 6 functional reach test

39
Q

functional tasks to assess posture and balance during walking

A

steady state - 10m walk

reactive - walk w pertubration

proactive - dynamic gait mag walk over obstacles

40
Q

how does body morphology affect posture

A

taller - higher COG - unstable
heavier - more stable

41
Q

how does age affect posture

A

toddlers - less balance
older - weaker muscles = postural issues

42
Q

how does gender affect posture

A

males have more muscle bulk - more stable

43
Q

how does pregnancy affect posture

A

baby inside womb shifts COG forward - challenging posture

44
Q

how does occupation and recreation affect posture

A

occupation that requires more balance

sports also challenges balance

45
Q

how does physical conditions affect posture

A

stroke - weak and balance issues

cerebral ataxia - balance problems
