Postural failure , asymmetry in muscle tone, lack of balance and righting reactions in sitting , can contribute to the development of abnormal compensatory postures.

 

These postures often evolve as kyphotic curves, scoliotic or lordotic spine and have long-term structural deformities . Most abnormal compensatory postures interfere with activities of reaching and manipulate objects. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent postural changes in sitting and provide proper alignment for proper quality of postural adjustments and upper limb mobility .
