Postural Abnormalities
Postural abnormalities refer to deviations from the normal alignment of the body while standing, sitting, or moving. Common types include scoliosis, where the spine curves sideways, and kyphosis, characterized by an exaggerated forward rounding of the back. These conditions can affect balance, mobility, and overall health.
Factors contributing to postural abnormalities include poor ergonomics, lack of physical activity, and certain medical conditions. Early detection and intervention, such as physical therapy or exercises, can help improve posture and prevent further complications. Maintaining good posture is essential for overall well-being and can enhance quality of life.
