A thorough definition of the word posture must take into account all the inherent variables, it is therefore mandatory to remark that posture may NOT be confined to human beings, NOR to upright position and NOT EVEN to awake state or to other contextual restrictions.
Posture is the shape, position and motion of living beings equipped with motor system and describes the relationship between all hierarchical layers of motor control:
1) reflexive motor vital functions
2) reflexive motor vital defence
3) reflexive motor environmental tasks
4) spontaneous motor environmental tasks
5) voluntary motor environmental tasks
description
[edit]The Posture of each living being is categorized against the being classification and motor model matrix.
To achieve a being classification, the sample has to be profiled according to individual features such as
- species/race
- age/gender/anatomical
- environment/behaviour
- health/pathology
- other
To achieve a reliable motor model the avaulation has to be carried out from as many perspectives as possible in order to have all the variables taken into account, measured and reproducible:
- self/other evaluation
- insideBody/outsideBody evaluation
- visual/instrumental evaluation
- static/motor evaluation
- awake/asleep evaluation
- single/repeated evaluation
- lab/environment evaluation
- other
By pulling being classification and motor model together we achieve the postural model of the evaluated individual.
use
[edit]Implementing classes of postural models allows to compare an individual postural model against a mean postural model within its species or species parameters (eg. same age, same gender, same anatomical features...) and to understand variations amongst individuals/race/gender/age/pathology or whatever other perspective.
Within this broad definition, posturology interest is over human posture and the mechanics, pathomechanics and etiopathogenesis of postural disorder.
