Lecture 1: Posture Flashcards
Benefits of optimal posture
less energy
reduce stress on structure
What does a brief visual check include
head entered shoulder line iliac crest line spinal curves thorax over pelvis feet hip width weight bearing
Name 3 structures plumb line goes through
external auditory meatus, spine, greater trochanter,
What is equilibrium
line of gravity through joint axis
T/F torque can be generated by passive and active tissues
True
LOG Ankle
LOG Knee
LOG Hip
Ankle: Anterior
Knee: Anterior
Hip: Posterior
LOG to T spine specifically
anterior
C/L Spine is right through
Where is moment greatest on each curve
Apex (C4/5, T6, L3)
4 static stabilizers
ligs, fascia, bones, joints
dynamic stabilizers
tissue, posture mm
3 ways we maintain body alignment
static, dynamic stabilizers, neural control
how does neuro control help body alignment
coordinates, anticipates , stiffens
Postural fault
deviates from norm, no structural limitation
results of postural fault
more energy, more stress structures
postural pain syndrome
pain from mechanical stress, bad position long time
