Examples of posture in the following topics:
-
- Posture is one means of communication.
- Closed posture often gives the impression of detachment, disinterest and hostility.
- Showing the back of hands or clenched fists can represent a closed posture.
- Open posture communicates a friendly and positive attitude.
- An important element of open posture of the body are the hands.
-
- This type of communication includes gestures, touch, body language, posture, facial expressions, and eye contact.
- Posture, or a person's bodily stance, communicates much about a person's perspectives.
- Various postures include slouching, towering, shoulders forward, and arm crossing.
- Studies investigating the impact of posture on interpersonal relationships suggest that mirror-image congruent postures, where one person's left side is parallel to the other person's right side, lead communicators to think favorably about their exchange.
- Posture is socialized and geographical, meaning that an individual learns different ways to carry themselves in different contexts.
-
- The posterior muscles, or muscles of the
back cover a wider range of functions including movement of the shoulder, head
and neck, assistance of respiration and in maintenance of posture and balance.
- The intrinsic muscles of the posterior are
responsible for maintaining posture and facilitating movement of the head and
neck.
- There are three columnar muscles in the
intermediate layer which are responsible for flexing and extension of the neck
and also to maintain posture.
- There are two muscles in the deep layer
which are responsible for maintenance of posture and rotation of the neck.
- Multifidus - The multifidus is located underneath the semispinalis muscle, and
is key in maintaining posture.
-
- Syncope, the medical term for fainting, is defined as a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone characterized by rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery due to global cerebral hypoperfusion that most often results from hypotension.
- Many forms of syncope are preceded by a prodromal state that often includes dizziness and loss of vision ("blackout") (temporary), loss of hearing (temporary), loss of pain and feeling (temporary), nausea and abdominal discomfort, weakness, sweating, a feeling of heat, palpitations, and other phenomena, which--if they do not progress to loss of consciousness and postural tone--are often denoted "presyncope. " Abdominal discomfort prior to loss of consciousness may be indicative of seizure which should be considered different than syncope.
- Other types include postural syncope (caused by a change in body posture), cardiac syncope (due to heart-related conditions), and neurological syncope (due to neurological conditions).
-
- The muscular system is made up of
muscle tissue and is responsible for various functions such as maintenance of posture,
locomotion and controlling various circulatory systems such as the beating of
the heart or the movement of food through the digestive system via peristalsis.
- Skeletal muscle mainly attaches to the skeletal system via
tendons to maintain posture and control movement for example contraction of the
biceps muscle, attached to the scapula and radius, will raise the forearm.
- Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, although this
can be subconscious for example when maintaining posture or balance.
- Skeletal muscle of the muscular system is closely associated with the skeletal system and acts to maintain posture and control voluntary movement.
-
- Jain sculpture is characterized most often by nude representations of saviors or deities in meditative postures.
- Jain iconography mostly has a sage in sitting or standing meditative posture without any clothes.
- Figures on various seals from the Indus Valley Civilisation bear similarity to jain images, nude and in a meditative posture.
-
- Messages can be communicated through gestures and touch, by body language or posture, or by facial expression and eye contact.
- While listening, try to observe the speaker's posture, clothing, gestures, and eye contact.
- Posture or a person's bodily stance can communicate a variety of messages.
- Some of the many types of posture include: slouching, towering, legs spread, jaw thrust, shoulders forward, and arm crossing.
- Posture can be used to determine a participant's degree of attention or involvement; the difference in status between communicators; and the level of fondness a person has for the other communicator, depending on body openness.

- The muscles of the back and neck are
responsible for maintaining posture and facilitating movement of the head and
neck.
- There are three columnar muscles in the
intermediate layer which are responsible for flexing and extension of the neck
and also to maintain posture.
- There are two muscles in the deep layer
which are responsible for maintenance of posture and rotation of the neck.
- Multifidus - The multifidus is located underneath the semispinalis muscle, and
is key in maintaining posture.
- Muscles of the back and neck play an important role in maintaining posture and the movement of the head and neck.
-
- Skeletal muscle, or voluntary muscle, is anchored to bone by tendons, or by aponeuroses at a few places, and is used to effect skeletal movement in activities such as locomotion and maintaining posture.
- Though this postural control is generally maintained as an unconscious reflex, the muscles responsible react to conscious control like non-postural muscles.
-
- It is responsible for sensing touch, temperature, posture, limb position, and more.
- Regarding posture, the tertiary
neuron is located in the cerebellum.
- Somatosensory information involved with proprioception and posture is processed in the cerebellum.
