Postural Control Journal

 Postural control refers to a child's ability to assume and maintain upright posture while seated without support. A child who has proper postural control can sustain a seated position without fatigue. Postural control is important because it provides a basis of support which allows the arms and legs to move smoothly. Sit up tall in the chair, lift your ribs, bring your shoulders up, back and down. This will set your posture. Try to keep this posture for as long as you can. Remind yourself to correct poor posture by performing all your elderly and seniors posture exercises, whether seated or standing, with good posture. Alexander and colleagues suggested a single measure for postural stability by measuring the rate at which consecutive peak values of the total angular momentum of all body segments about the ankles diminish when a standing person is subjected to various types of perturbations. Reactive postural control, the ability to recover from an external perturbation to stability, ultimately determines whether an individual will fall following a loss of balance and should be routinely incorporated in balance assessment. Postural muscle tone in the body axis of healthy humans. ... Across the entire human body, postural tone might play its most critical role in the body's axis because the axis joins the four limbs and head into a single functioning unit during complex motor tasks as well as in static postures
