ABSTRACT
Optimal posture is part of habitual well-being, involving sound skeletal structure, soft-tissue integrity and proper neuromuscular control. The unique upright stance exhibited by humans creates specific functional demands on the musculoskeletal system during all daily activities. Even though the human body assumes many postures, it does not hold any of them for a significant amount of time, although certain characteristic and habitual postural patterns may become evident over a period of time.
