“…Early detection of the condition may help the authorities in charge of health to introduce no operative treatment, such as wearing an orthosis that has been shown to be effective by numerous outcome studies. Adams was one of the pioneers in this subject that introduced a simple procedure that indirectly identify spinal deformity simply by bending forward and observing the deformity ( Stagnara et al, 1982 ; Zurita et al, 2008 ). Stagnara claimed that the spine has a fixed rotational direction ( Stagnara et al, 1982 ).…”

“…Posterior elements attempt to rotate towards the concave side, and they try to make the shortest advancement just like an athlete running at the extreme interior lane of marathon course. Therefore, the perpendicular distance is shorter on the posterior side of the vertebrae compared to the relevant distance on the anterior side ( Zurita et al, 2008 ). The use of instrument to assess scoliosis has been the subject of some studies.…”

Introduction:Postural deformities are commonly acquired disorders that occur throughout the life. The purpose of this research was to determine and compare the frequency of scoliosis disorder and anthropometric characteristics of normal versus the disordered Students.Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional study that was performed on 1416 girls and boys of elementary school students in the city of Kashan in education year 2010-2011. Adams bending test was employed to examine 1416 students to identify the disorder. Seca scale was employed to measure weight and inflexible tape was used to measure the height of students. SPSS software was employed to analyze the data.Results:The result of analysis showed that 63.8 percent of students were boys and 36.2 percent were girls. The frequency of scoliosis in boys and girls was 29.8 and 24.2 percent, respectively. Independent t-test result showed that there was a significant difference between the height and weight of normal versus the scoliosis identified boys and girls student (P=0.004, 0.031; 0.0001, 0.041).Conclusion:These types of studies are conducted regularly to identify poor postural cases at an early stage. The identification of acquired deformities at an early stage is important since it provides the opportunity to take the appropriate measures to correct them. Early identification of scoliosis is vital to maximize effectiveness of treatment.
