Posture is a “body’s attitude or the positioning of the limbs when standing or sitting.” There are many examples of different postures which include lordotic posture, swayback posture, flat back, and anterior pelvic tilt. Everyone in some of the other parts of their life considers pain as an unpleasant feeling or sensation that is experienced. Specifically, low back pain can be relentless and daunting to many people who often recovered without the need of a health care professional or any treatment by changing their posture or performing the movement. Various factors are leading to low back pain other than the postural fault, for instance, age, sedentary lifestyle, anxiety, and sleep. However, for back pain, posture has become deep-rooted in people’s thoughts. Health care professionals have instructed people to correct their posture to fight back pain. As people become older, the posture becomes worse, but this does not appear to cause pain. If any person cannot move his/her body, that does not mean that they are having a problem involving posture; that is actually because of a problem relating to movement. A study proved that there is no difference in the lordotic angle of the populace having an issue with LBP. There is a decrease in the range and speed of the movement performed. What matters is the movement rather than the appearance of standing or sitting. The primary aim of this paper is to improve knowledge and understanding of the association between posture and LBP, as, speaking about recent researches, they have observed no association between posture and LBP. There are many studies published to support this evidence. People call the importance of posture and alignment for while performing a heavy deadlift, land a jump, or any strenuous activity. Therefore, an urge to write a paper on this topic is to change the mindset of many people worrying out there about their postural faults or their appearances by providing information about varying their static posture to conform to some ideal and keep moving to improve their function.

Patient expectations are key predictors of post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) health outcomes. The expectations dictate the pain levels, functional outcomes, and disability post-surgery. The study aims at exploring pre-operative expectations of patients from TKA. The study sample (n = 15) consisted of participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis who had opted for elective replacement surgery. The mean (SD) age of the participants was 72.07 (5.7). The principles of the qualitative research approach guided the study’s methodology. The primary author conducted face-to-face semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Each interview lasted for 15–30 min. The transcribed verbatims were thematically analyzed. The participants expected surgery to relieve their pain, improve their functional status, and make them productive for society. They also expected to be socially active and get rid of their medications. Participants lived experiences modulated their expectations. The study findings emphasize that health-care providers must consider the expectations of individuals undergoing surgery. Patients should be educated about realistic goals and attainments from surgery to ensure better post-operative health outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
