Answer to Question #284674 in Human Anatomy and Physiology for amirul

Question

how the slouch body postures would affect our musculoskeletal system. (10 marks)

Answer 1

Slouching pushes the shoulders back, and focuses all of the supporting weight that the hips normally bear on the front of the knees. The strain creates painful knee joints. Poor posture puts the entire skeletal system out of position and creates stress all the way down to the base of the structure of the foot.
