This document discusses good posture, its characteristics, effects, and types. Good posture is defined as maintaining an upright position with minimal effort and strain. The benefits of good posture include reduced muscle fatigue, improved respiratory and circulatory efficiency, and prevention of diseases from poor posture. The three types of posture discussed are easy, fatigue, and rigid. Easy posture allows symmetrical balance and can be maintained for long periods. Fatigue posture is asymmetrical but relaxed and reduces muscle load. Rigid posture cannot be held for long due to joint and muscle strain. Causes of poor posture and its effects are also examined. Facial expressions are then introduced as another form of nonverbal communication, with examples given of their use in a business setting

• It is good symmetrical and balanced position.
This position can be maintained for a long
time. So the subject will shift weight in a
swaying movement in order to prevent fatigue
and to maintain a good circulation in the
postural muscles of the legs when standing.

8. By altering the main support from one
leg to another; the muscle become
periodically unloaded and relaxed.

9. FATIGUE POSTURE
• It is asymmetrical or sagging posture
this position is relaxed and can be maintained
for a long time as most of the body’s joints are
in semi-flexion. The load on the muscles will
decrease as the energy expenditure is 10%
less than the posture.

10. RIGID POSTURE
• It is called ‘posture of attention’. It doesn't
mean normal posture.
• This position cannot be assumed for a long
time as most of body’s joints are in extension;
so the load will increase on joints & muscles
and energy expenditure is 20% more than
easy posture.

postures the energy in
Rigid> Easy> Fatigue

deviation from ideally aligned erect posture
