Abstract:
(text automatically translated from Italian) The lesson examines the ideal sitting posture in the "normal" person (no neurological impairments which are essentially and / or orthopedic surgery) from the point of view of kinematics (arrangement of the different segments in space - joint angles), the kinetics (forces and moments involved in the maintenance of posture, stress and strain at the level of biological structures) and neurophysiological control mechanisms. The analysis is directed to the individual body segments, starting from the basin, and buoyancy to the influence of each of these on the entire system. Is then taken into account in the sitting posture in individuals with disabilities analyzing the problems most frequently encountered in recruitment and maintenance of this posture and proposing several possible solutions designed to guarantee maximum safety, maximum comfort and maximum functionality, with particular reference systems posture. Of the latter explains the main features and mechanisms of action.
