Primarily, posture is a reflex to keep the body upright. The concept behind this is also one of the important types of information in the field of nonverbal communication. This article applies to the second understanding of the term in this sense meaning:
- how the body is positioned in relation to another person or group of persons (for example, leaning stance, posture, standing, sitting, etc.) and how they are positioned relative to each other various body parts (eg leg imposed on the leg, hand in pocket, etc.)
- physique, that is how the body looks like (for example, whether it is large, has a broad back, weak legs, large head, etc.)
