posture that deviates for normal alignment but no structural impairments

Postural fault

postural pain syndrome

pain when person maintains a faulty posture for long periods of time. pain is relieved with activity. no impairments but if continues strength and flexibility imbalances may arise

muscles that are continually stretched get weaker

muscles constantly in shortened positions lose their elasticity. These muscles test ______ in ______ positions and _________ in _____ positions.

tight weakness


strong in shortened positions and weak in stretched positions

creep

creep:


force remains ____ while ______ changes

constant

anterior


rotates


tibia
