      L’objectif de cet ouvrage est d’exposer l’essentiel de la biomécanique fonctionnelle permettant de comprendre et de prendre en charge les troubles de la posture debout : réparer les troubles et dysfonctionnements de la posture liés aux « défauts » de la nature, corriger les troubles posturaux liés à l’usure du temps et au vieillissement, éduquer le comportement gestuel et postural, adapter le potentiel postural à des activités ludiques, sportives ou professionnelles. Cet ouvrage, illustré de plus d’une centaine de dessins, analyse dans un premier temps les notions d’équilibre et de posture puis s’intéresse à chacune des régions anatomiques qui entrent en jeu dans cette question. Il constitue un outil efficace pour comprendre des questions souvent complexes. La compréhension du maintien de la posture debout concerne un grand nombre de professions. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux kinésithérapeutes et ostéopathes en exercice, podologues, ergothérapeutes, médecins de rééducation, médecins du sport, chirurgiens orthopédistes, mais aussi aux ergonomes des gestes et postures et aux professionnels des activités physiques et sportives.
