These lower levels of support have been shown to better resemble independent overground walking patterns while allowing individuals to better maintain upright posture.
Swimming behavior was classified as abnormal if individuals failed to respond after repeated prods, failed to maintain upright posture, or swam erratically in circles.
The hip extensors, in particular, are important for many common every day functional activities such as being able to move from sit to stand, to climb steps and stairs, and to maintain upright posture during walking [ 8].
Standing balance was assessed by asking participants to maintain upright posture for up to 10 s per test while standing with feet in side-by-side, semi-tandem, and tandem positions.
With progression of crouch gait, anti-gravity support muscles including the hip extensors must work at a progressively greater proportion of their moment-generating capacity to maintain upright posture [ 11], resulting in gait deterioration, and increased dependence on gait aids when walking [ 9].
Maintain upright posture when you're training your dog, so he knows you mean business.
Unusual skeletal characteristics of the skull and upper front cervical vertebrae indicate the victim suffered from chronic spasmodic torticollis, or wryneck, a condition which causes stress on the muscles which are responsible for maintaining upright head posture.

She credits him as the biggest influence on her golf career, but she maintained an upright posture on her putts in the final round.
Strong abdominal or hip flexor muscles, for example, help people maintain an upright posture, as do strong extensor muscles, which run the full length of the back and maintain alignment of the vertebrae.
First, the CP mean velocity supposedly reflects the amount of regulatory balancing activity that is needed to maintain an upright posture [ 26] and can be used to discriminate the postural behaviors between symptomatic population [ 36].
