Glossary Term
Posture
Posture is arthro- and osteo-kinematic alignment maintained by myofascial activity and length, as a result of sensation, integration, and activation by the nervous system - both statically and dynamically. Good posture is essential for optimal health and well-being, as it helps to reduce the risk of injury, improve breathing and circulation, and enhance physical performance.
Posture: Arthro- and osteo-kinematic alignment maintained by myofascial activity and length, as a result of sensation, integration, and activation by the nervous system - both statically and dynamically. For example, "good form" is an example of ideal posture for a given exercise.
- Evidence-based Definition: A mean range of segment alignment (bone, joint, muscle, nerve) that is absent of signs correlated with dysfunction, pain, or an increased risk injury.
