POSTURE AND GAIT ANALYSIS

WHAT IS POSTURE

POSTURE IS THE POSITION IN WHICH SOMEONE HOLDS THEIR BODY

Good posture involves keeping the spine in a neutral position, with the shoulders relaxed and the chin slightly tucked in. Poor posture can lead to various health problems, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

WHAT IS GAIT

GAIT REFERS TO THE MANNER IN WHICH A PERSON WALKS.

A normal gait involves a smooth, coordinated motion of the legs and feet, with the arms swinging naturally at the sides. Problems with gait can be caused by various factors, including muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or neurological conditions.

For Stability And Balance To Be Maintained, Good Posture And Gait Are Crucial, Which Lowers The Risk Of Falls And Other Injuries. Muscle Imbalances That Results From Poor Posture And Gait Can Raise The Possibility Of Pain, Discomfort And Injury.

Physiotherapists often work with patients to improve their posture and gait, using a range of exercises and techniques to strengthen muscles, improve range of motion, and correct any underlying structural imbalances. By improving posture and gait, physiotherapy can help to reduce pain, prevent injury, and improve overall physical function.
