Posture is defined as the ways and manner a person positions his or her body based on how they move, sit, stand, bend, walk and lie.
A person is said to exhibit a bad posture when they move their body, sit, stand, bend, walk, and lie improperly. However, understand that postural defects can be either natural or artificial. Also, they may result from defects in the spine, spinal column or backbone.
Please read the introduction to posture here.
Below are postural defects that affect the spine or backbone:
A person is said to have scoliosis when the spine is slightly tilted to the left or right or both sides.
The curvature of the spine can occur at the upper back or thoracic region (thoracic scoliosis) or lower back or lumber region (lumbar scoliosis).
The cause of scoliosis may be hereditary or idiopathic. The term idiopathic imply that the cause is unknown.
Please read on skeletal materials here.
A person who has kyphosis is often considered to have a hunchback.
In kyphosis, there is an outward slope or curvature on the upper region of the backbone (that is; the posterior thoracic region of the spine). This consequently brings about a conspicuous rounded upper back with a forward leaning shoulders.
Hunchback is more common in aged people although younger people can also have it.
You can read on the bones of the human skeleton here.
Also called saddle back or swayback, lordosis is a result of an inward curvature of the backbone in its upper cervical region (around the neck) and lower lumbar region.
Unlike kyphosis which appears in the upper back thoracic region, lordosis occurs in the lower back or lumbar region, and may result in a more conspicuous buttocks if the inward spine curvature at the lower back is excessive.
As the name imply, it is a combination of both kyphosis and lordosis. It presents a curvature in the spine at the posterior upper and lower region of the back.
Please read on the type of bones here.
A person with kyphoscoliosis will have both kyphosis and scoliosis simultaneously. The spine will therefore have an abnormal curve on two planes.
The spine curvature in kyphoscoliosis is typically seen side by side and anterior-posteriorly (that is, front and back).

Amazing facts in PHE
Boxing is a lucrative game. It is the only sport whereby neither the spectators nor the participants know the score through out the entire game.
The holes or curved indents in a gulf ball are called dimples. A gulf ball has a total of 366 dimples.
The dimples on the gulf ball allows a thin layer of air to cling on the ball's surface; as a result, reducing drag and allowing the ball to travel a longer distance
