Hi. Nice to see a "structural" topic-and the discussions that ensue. Let me suggest that in addition to definitions, etc. the statistical models employed maybe wanting. Path analyses and nonlinear models may shed light on the role of posture on pathology. In some way "posture" is analogous to "chining" of psychology. At times there are stepwise relationships and at times there are not. From an interaction perspective note that Nashner and his many students demonstrated close links between posture and movement. There is also a suggestion that autonomic functions influence posture and movement. Is the relationship direct? Who knows. Joe
