kyphosis-lordosis |
forward head, increased cervical lordosis, scapula abducted, increased thoracic kyphosis, increased lumbar lordosis, anterior pelvic tilt, kness slightly hyperextended, ankles slighty plantarflexed |
|
short and tight muscles in kyphosis-lordosis |
neck extensors, hip flexors, low back |
|
lengthened and weak muscles in kyphosis-lordosis |
deep neck flexors, hamstings, erector spinae, possibly abdominals |
|
sway back |
forward head, increased cervical lordosis, increased thoracic kyphosis, posterior pelvic tilt, knees slightly hyperextended, ankles neutral |
|
short and tight muscles of sway back posture |
upper abdominals, intercostals, hamstrings |
|
lengthened and weak muscles in a sway back posture |
neck flexors, hip flexors, thoracic extensors, lower abdominals |
|
flat back |
forward head, increased cervical lordosis, decreased kyphosis, decreased lumbar lordosis, posterior pelvic tilt, knees slightly hyperextended, ankles slightly plantarflexed |
|
short and tight muscles in flat back posture |
neck extensors, abdominal, hamstrings |
|
lengthened and weak muscles in flat back posture |
neck flexors, back extensors, hip flexors |
|
janda's compensatory patterns |
lower cross syndrome, upper cross syndrome, pronation distortion syndrome |
|
upper cross syndrome |
rounded shoulders, forward head posture |
|
lower crossed syndrom |
increase lumbar lordosis, increased anterior pelvic tilt |
|
pronation distortion syndrome |
excessive foot pronation (flat feet), excessive foot external rotation, knee flexion, knee internal rotation, adduction |
|
normal scapular position |
between T2-T7, 3 inches from spine, rest against rib cage without observable winging |
|
common things to look for when looking at scapular position |
winged, protracted/abducted, retracted/adducted, elevated, visible muscular differences |
|
winged scapular |
a protrusion of the inferior angle of the scapula, often accompanied by protracted shoulder girdle |
|
issues associated with winged scapulae |
the forward tilt can cause complete shoulder flexion to be restricted, weakness of the serratus anterior of lower traps, weak rhomboids and shortened pec minor |
|
protracted scapular |
shoulders are pulled forward, subscapularis, pec mior, clavicular and sternal heads of the pec major muscles may be short; the traps and rhomboids may be weak if the medial borders of the scapula also protrude slightly from the body |
|
retracted scapula |
shortened/strong rhomboids-middle trap, less common; seen more in military due to stance posture |
|
elevated scapula |
upper traps, levator scapulae are short/tight/active; can accompany rotation; may see differences from right to left |
|
factors that influence posture |
aging, inactivity/sedentary living/reluctance to exercise, poor postural habits, biomechanical compensation (muscle imbalance, adaptive shortening, muscle weakness and instability within the core), body comp, workspace, poor movement technique/execution/training, injury |
