“…This issue has attracted interest of professionals from medical and non-medical fields, physical education, pedagogy and sport, since poor posture and posture disorders are frequent indicators of health problems in children [6]. Postural insufficiency in children is also considered as a risk of back pain [8]. Professionals describe poor posture as the pandemic of modern age.…”

Postural disorders are the current problems of the present time and can be monitored in each age group and today they are not rare even among pre-schoolers. Untreated postural disorders can cause spinal deformity, pain, neurological symptoms or disorders of movement patterns. It is therefore extremely important to monitor and assess their occurrence as early as in pre-school age, when posture is still developing and taking the form and, if irregularities are found, take relevant preventive measures. This is the reason we conducted the assessment of posture among pre-schoolers. Within the project Healthy little back carried out in Ružomberok and Martin we examined 111 pre-schoolers aged 5–6. Their posture was assessed using aspexia. The aim of the examination was to determine the posture of body parts and then assess the overall posture. To assess the posture we used a modified methodology of Napoleon Wolanski. Results: 48.65% pre-schoolers with physiologic posture, 36.94% with initial postural disorder and 14.41% with serious postural disorders. Less than half of pre-schoolers have physiological posture and it is therefore necessary to implement preventive measures and programs in kindergartens to avoid the situation to worsen.

“…Poor posture in the sagittal plane, such as a hollow back or a hunchback, can lead to long-lasting pain, which is now a major economic factor in healthcare worldwide. Incidences of 71% have been reported in adulthood [1] and 25 to 60% in childhood and adolescence [2][3][4][5].…”

The correction of postural weaknesses through the better positioning of the pelvis is an important approach in sports therapy and physiotherapy. The pelvic position in the sagittal plane is largely dependent on the muscular balance of the ventral and dorsal muscle groups. The aim of this exploratory study was to examine whether healthy persons use similar muscular activation patterns to correct their pelvic position or whether there are different motor strategies. The following muscles were recorded in 41 persons using surface electromyography (EMG): M. trapezius pars ascendens, M. erector spinae pars lumbalis, M. gluteus maximus, M. biceps femoris, M. rectus abdominis, and M. obliquus externus. The participants performed 10 voluntary pelvic movements (retroversion of the pelvis). The anterior pelvic tilt was measured videographically via marker points on the anterior and posterior superior iliac spine. The EMG data were further processed and normalized to the maximum voluntary contraction. A linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between changes in the pelvic tilt and muscle activities. Subsequently, a Ward clustering analysis was applied to detect potential muscle activation patterns. The differences between the clusters and the pelvic tilt were examined using ANOVA. Cluster analysis revealed the presence of four clusters with different muscle activation patterns in which the abdominal muscles and dorsal muscle groups were differently involved. However, the gluteus maximus muscle was involved in every activation pattern. It also had the strongest correlation with the changes in pelvic tilt. Different individual muscle patterns are used by different persons to correct pelvic posture, with the gluteus maximus muscle apparently playing the most important role. This can be important for therapy, as different muscle strategies should be trained depending on the individually preferred motor patterns.

“…Faulty posture is common in children and teens with a wide spectrum of symptoms and causes. There are numerous researches conducted to examine the common deformities that may occur due to various reasons ( Zhang et al, 2015 ; Smyrnis et al, 2015 ; Penha et al, 2005 ; Nery et al, 2010 ; Sharma et al, 2013 ; Drerup et al, 1996 ; Hierholzer et al, 2002 ; Mahlknecht 2007 ; Płaszewski et al, 2014 ; Eivazi et al, 2012 ; Konieczny et al, 2013 ). Certainly, postural deformities that have no inherited roots are acquired.…”

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.

Die Prävalenz von Haltungsstörungen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen: eine Querschnittsanalyse

Abstract: Before the adolescence period, postural insufficiency is distributed evenly with regard to both form and gender, while a noticeable decline shows up as the age increases. The decline for girls seems to be less caused by the earlier entry into adolescence.
