Static Posture How an individual physically presents themselves in
a stance. It is reflected in the alignment of the
body.
Dynamic Posture How an individual is able to maintain an erect
posture while performing functional tasks.
Strength of assessments These may not be able to specifically identify if a
problem is structural (or biomechanical) in nature
or whether it is derived from the development of
poor muscular recruitment patterns with resultant
muscle imbalances.
Static postural assessment This provides excellent indicators of problem areas
that must be further evaluated in order to clarify
the problems at hand.
Myofascial The connective tissue in and around muscles and
tendons.
The body's adaptability This will continually adapt in an attempt to produce
the functional outcome that is requested by the
system.
, Result of the Body's adaptability This will lead to imbalances and eventually to
imbalances that move beyond a dysfunction and
into tissue damage and pathology.
Muscle imbalance Alteration in the functional relationship between
pairs or groups of muscles.
Muscles of the Body Some of these are prone to shortening (tightness)
while others are susceptible to lengthening and
weakness (inhibition).
Combination of tight and weak This relationship between muscles can alter normal
muscles movement patterns.
Main factors that cause postural Habitual movement patterns, Altered movement
imbalance patterns from repetitive movement, Altered
movement patterns from injury, Altered movement
patterns from surgery, Altered movement patterns
from incompletely rehabilitated injuries.
Repetition of movement This can lead to a change in the elasticity of the
muscle. (also referred to as chronic overuse or
injury).
Acute injury This may result in chronic muscle imbalances. An
individual may assume adaptive postures to avoid
pain or to create function as a result of this.
The changing of use patterns This alters loads across the joints and alters
recruitment strategies of muscles, all leading to
muscular imbalances reflected in postural changes.
Hypomobility Restricted motion.
