Examples of posture in the following topics:
-
- 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).

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.
-
- 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.
-
- Also known as voluntary muscle, it 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 postural control is generally maintained as an unconscious reflex, the muscles responsible react to conscious control like non-postural muscles.
-
- The body's posture changes as the pregnancy progresses.
- Poor posture occurs
naturally from the stretching of the woman's abdominal muscles as the fetus
grows.
- The step lengthens
as the pregnancy progresses due to weight gain and changes in posture.
-
- In addition, low-back pain may also be the result of bad lifting habits and posture.
-
- At age 61, his lower spine is fused and has altered his posture so much that he is three inches shorter than he was at 17.
-
- The cervical and lumbar curves are secondary, and are developed after birth, the former when the child is able to maintain an upright posture, the latter when the child begins to walk.
-
- Signs of ataxia include poor balance, high stepping during walking, inaccuracy during reaching, tremors, and postural instability.
- Sensory ataxia presents itself with an unsteady "stomping" gait with heavy heel strikes, as well as a postural instability that is usually worsened when the lack of proprioceptive input cannot be compensated for by visual input, such as in poorly lit environments.
