On the concept of postural muscles and posture in man

V Janda. Aust J Physiother. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

Basic human posture should be derived from the principal movement pattern, namely gait. Since we stand on one leg for most of the time during walking, the stance on one leg should be considered to be the typical posture in man; the postural muscles are those which maintain this posture.
