What's the difference between postural and posture?
Postural
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to posture.
Example Sentences:
(1) The influence of vestibular dysfunction upon the vestibulospinal reflex (VSR) in two common peripheral syndromes was investigated by two types of posturographic examination: "static" posturography, recording and analyzing the postural sway in stance, and "kinetic" posturography, recording the stepping in place test.
(2) The changes in muscle activity had the same pattern and similar phase-frequency properties to those observed under analogous vestibular stimulation during the maintenance of steady posture.
(3) Postoperatively, an independent observer assessed conscious level, crying, posture and facial expression using a simple numerical scoring system, and also recorded heart and respiratory rates over a 2-h period.
(4) Nine patients were admitted to the hospital, placed on a diet containing 150 mEq sodium, and studied for periods of 4 hours, on different days, in the following conditions: (1) supine position, (2) upright posture (UP), (3) UP after 10 mg domperidone, intravenously in bolus, and (4) UP after 3 days of domperidone, 30 mg orally.
(5) Microinfusion of the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-(di-N-propylamino)tetralin (8-OHDPAT), into the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) produced a marked behavioural hypoactivity and flat body posture.
(6) The influence of preanalytical factors such as food intake, posture, use of tourniquet and freezing and storing samples is great and necessitates standardisation of specimen collection.
(7) Unexpected displacement of the endotracheal tube during anesthesia caused by postural change of the neck or passive compression by the mouth gag was investigated under transluminal fiberoptic observation.
(8) Mean arterial pressure rose in upright posture in many cases, but its changes (percentage) showed no correlation with the changes (percentage) in GFR.
(9) Lateralization may be an expression of reflex constraints bound initially to the infant's tonic-neck posture, with later development less reflex-patterned during the acquisition of more sophisticated information-processing strategies.
(10) Presence of the monosynaptic reflex during platform perturbations at normal latencies suggests that balance problems in children with Down syndrome do not result from hypotonia, which researchers have defined as decreased segmental motoneuron pool excitability and pathology of stretch reflex mechanisms, but rather result from defects within higher level postural mechanisms.
(11) A transistor radio activated by a mercury switch was used to reinforce head posture in two retarded children with severe cerebral palsy.
(12) Subjects with class III malocclusion tended to a more extended head posture relatively to those with class I or class II malocclusion.
(13) The peripheral plasma levels of aldosterone, renin activity (PRA), potassium, corticosterone, cortisol, and in some cases angiotensin II, were measured in normal subjects undergoing postural changes, acute diuretic-induced volume depletion, and alterations in dietary sodium.
(14) Seizures elicited by posture change and intraperitoneal administration of convulsants were studied ontogenetically in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).
(15) This paper describes a system for the quantitative analysis of posture and stance in the freely standing quadruped.
(16) Later, animals exposed to lifelong 5 or 2% soy lecithin preparations were hypoactive, had poor postural reflexes, and showed attenuated morphine analgesia.
(17) Comparisons of hominoid metacarpals and phalanges reveal differences, many of which are closely linked to locomotor hand postures.
(18) A definite correlation was established between the disease and the character of work and specificity of the working postures: a long stay in a bent position aggravated by the pressure of the apron strap weighing 8-10 kg on the lumbar part of the spine.
(19) The authors study the adaptation of the blood pressure to changes in posture in 400 people, and studied the world literature on the subject.
(20) After injection of tranylcypromine (a MAO inhibitor), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) which had been previously infused with norepinephrine (NE) for 14 days displayed stroke-related behaviour including kangaroo-like posture, seizures and death.
Posture
Definition:
(n.) The position of the body; the situation or disposition of the several parts of the body with respect to each other, or for a particular purpose; especially (Fine Arts), the position of a figure with regard to the several principal members by which action is expressed; attitude.
(n.) Place; position; situation.
(n.) State or condition, whether of external circumstances, or of internal feeling and will; disposition; mood; as, a posture of defense; the posture of affairs.
(v. t.) To place in a particular position or attitude; to dispose the parts of, with reference to a particular purpose; as, to posture one's self; to posture a model.
(v. i.) To assume a particular posture or attitude; to contort the body into artificial attitudes, as an acrobat or contortionist; also, to pose.
(v. i.) Fig.: To assume a character; as, to posture as a saint.
