Headrest For Wheelchairs

LA POSTUROLOGIA


The term "posture" refers to the strategy used by neuro-muscular skeletal system and to provide balance, reacting to the force of gravity in the most economic way possible. It is not correct to confuse the terms "balance" and "posture". You may be in perfect balance, posture queso without adequate efforts ergonomizzando muscle properly. In every field of physiology of the movement (which is "life "...) who's in charge, presiding and suffers from all the muscles are always slightly changing. The hard structures (teeth, bones and joints) below and change accordingly through adaptive or degenerative alterations.


The POSTURAL SYSTEM is a very complex, which involves structures of the central nervous system and peripheral and above the eyes, the feet, the SYSTEM skin, the muscles, joints, but also the stomatognathic apparatus (occlusal and SYSTEM LANGUAGE) and the inner ear . The CNS uses the information received from EYE, soles of the feet and CUTE first, to be aware of body position and be able to correctly set as desired with respect to the outside world and of himself.
If, over time, problems arise at any level, at first the "system" will try to compensate in some way (shoulder higher rotations of the pelvis, scoliosis attitudes, vices of plantar support, head tilted ...) until may, consistent with their individual capacity, at some point, however, this ability to compensate for its limit is just the "sum" of these "adjustments" and the first signs of disease appear as if they were a siren "alarm.
This system" polluted "by the various fees, then all problems will arise most commonly (headache, neck pain, neuralgia, DEFECTS chewing and dental occlusion, back pain, back pain, sciatica, pain in the shoulders, arms, hips, knees, ankles) but also lesser-known disorders (difficulty driving at night or concentration in reading, awkwardness, clicking jaw ...): all diseases that complicate and greatly affect everyday life and, therefore, our psyche.
is crucial at this point, despite all the difficulties easily imaginable act at different levels and in an appropriate time in a coordinated effort with other professionals, to correct and try to reprogram the "SYSTEM".

The POSTUROLOGY is not a discipline in its own right: this is why the doctor who is dealing with trying to bring together in one "reasoning" concepts in ophthalmology, neurology, dentistry, physiotherapy, ENT, so as to draw up a and complete diagnosis of the "priority" treatment. And here also because the doctor who studies the posture may ask a patient to appeal to other professionals such as the eyepiece, the ORTHOPTICS, dentist, speech pathologist, ENT ... and / or carry out manipulations vertebro-articular techniques according to specific risk-free as possible and in any case bloodless and painless.
POSTUROLOGY The research, by addressing the problem in the case, to respond to the effects and then to the symptoms.


In terms of motor, every living being should be able to adapt to the environment in which it is to survive and carry out its static and dynamic activities.
This adaptation requires the ability to grasp what happens in the same and, consequently, to assume the positions most suited to your needs and situation of behavior. We can define "posture" each of the positions taken by the body, marked by the special relationship between the different segments somatic.
The concept of posture, therefore, does not refer to a static condition, rigid and mainly structural. She identifies, however, with the more general concept of balance understood as "optimization" of the relationship between subject and environment, ie the same condition in which the subject assumes a posture or series of postures than ideal environmental situation, in that particular time for the planned motor programs.
A function is so important is not entrusted to a single organ or system but requires a whole system, called System-Posture-Tonic (STP), a set of adjoining structures and processes which is tasked with:
- fighting gravity
-
resist external forces - in space-time around us
structured to allow the balance in the movement, to guide and reinforce it. To accomplish this exploit
neuro-physiological, the body uses different resources:
- the esterocettori: position us in relation to the environment (touch, vision, hearing)
- the proprioceptors: position the different parts of the body in relation to ' together in a predetermined position
- the higher centers: integrate the switches of strategy, cognitive processes and rework the data received from the two sources above.
