posture is meant q position OF equIll0-
rum of the body which can be main
tanned for some time, such as standing,
sitting or lying.
For the maintenance OF the erect
posture the following conditions must
be realized: % The corresponding
halves of the body must be in the same
anatomical radiation; (2) the center of
gravity of the whole body must fall
just in front of the last lumbar verte-
bra. That the first of these two con-
ditions may be realized there must be
a we'll developed and symmetrical
skeleton and a corresponding symmet-
rical development of the muscles on
the two sides of the body. That the
second condition may be realized there
must be such a DEVELOPMENT of the eX-
tensor muscles on the back of the body
as will be sufficient to antagonize the
fleXor muscles On the front Of the body.
these conditions are not always
realized, and hence certain physical de-
fects are observable, such as obliquity
of the head, elevation or depression of
the shoulders, curvature Of the spine,
and 50 forth.
Among the defects which interfere
with the proper stature and proportions
may be mentioned knock knees, DO v
legs and pigeon toes.
knock knees occur in childhood or
at puberty, and are generally associa-
ted with ricketts, anG due to want OF
muscular Or bodily strength. Owing
to the width Of the pelvis, the thlgn
ZONES are inclined inward This de-
termines the direction OF the deformity.
There is a djsp1GPortion between the
weight of the body and the strength of
the muscles. In consequence the inner
coudyle Of the thigh bone grows down
and inward, and throws the lower leg
outward.
Bow legs are also associated with
rickets and want OF strength in muscles
and bones. In this condition the natl-
raj curve Of the bones is exaggerated
and the leg bends outward.
pigeon Goes are a term applied 10
the inward direction of the foot, de-
dependent on insufficient development
Of the muscles, which should turn the
foot outward. This is a condition o.
served in monkeys and very young
children.
I'm addition to the above mentioned
deformaties relating to the trunk and
limbs, there are others found in Dotn
men and women, especially in the lat
