For nurses, who often engage in physically demanding tasks such as lifting patients, bending, and prolonged standing, maintaining proper postural alignment is essential to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Poor posture can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, and injury, thereby affecting a nurse's ability to provide effective care. For patients, especially those who are bedridden or have limited mobility, proper alignment can prevent complications such as pressure ulcers, contractures, and respiratory issues.
