postural support

Postural support refers to the tools, devices, or techniques used to help maintain proper body alignment, especially when a person has difficulty sitting, standing, or moving due to injury, illness, or disability. Its goal is to promote stability, comfort, and proper functioning of muscles and joints, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury. Examples include special chairs, cushions, braces, or custom devices designed to support the spine, neck, or limbs. Effective postural support helps individuals perform daily activities more comfortably and safely, enhancing overall well-being and independence.
