The distribution of body mass in relation to gravity over a base of support is what term?
Posture
Optimal posture is where no added energy needed
Posture in which the postural mm are at their resting tone and no additional energy beyond this basal level needs to be expended for the person to remain upright is what term?
Optimal Posture
The result of homeostatic mechanisms working through the entire body unit to maximize function.
Postural compensation takes place in all three planes in order to keep the body balanced and the eyes level.
