ANSWERS (Graded A+)




What are the consequences of faulty posture?

· Pain

· Mood (depressed hunched over)

· Impingement syndromes

· Breathing issues (especially those with chronic conditions like asthma, COPD, etc)

· Slumped-everything gets cramped(shoulder - lots of anatomical structures (veins,

blood, bones, bursa, muscles, etc.) crowded area, improving posture allows for space

so structures aren't constantly beat up)

· Basic functions are dramatically impaired with bad posture (swallowing, breathing, etc)

-increased risk of injury

-curved spine, pinched nerves

What are the benefits of postural correction?

· Less pain

· Better mood

· Better breathing, circulation

· increase confidence and productivity

The midpoint between the anterior and posterior pelvic tilt

Be able to prescribe postural correction and exercises for a patient.

- develop awareness and control of spinal posture- educate patient about the

relationship between poor posture and symptoms- increase mobility in restricted

muscles, joints, and fascia- develop neurotransmitter control, strength, and endurance-

teach safe body mechanics- ergonomic assessment of home, work, and recreational

environments- stress management- identify safe aerobic activities- promote healthy

exercise habits for self maintenance-use cues/reminders to help break (mirrors, post-its,

technology, alarms, etc)

your head pulling you up"

How does the UPRIGHT GO 2 work to improve a patient's posture?

Detects poor posture and vibrates = biofeedback via sensory inputalerts the patient

when they go into poor posture by giving them a little vibration

What role do postural supports, bracing or taping play in correcting posture?

· Thoracic lumbar brace= keeps compressed, then when pain subsides, gradually eased

off-taping= facilitates muscle activation but as soon as becomes more active, take away

so body can do it on its own*****Active strengthening= always preferred
