“…By asking some questions, it was found again that sport or even just physical activity, was poorly practiced. This condition decreased further in maturity, indeed the percentage of them who still play a sport was really low [3]. Anyway the ones who showed a reduced tropism represented the minority.…”

“…Only a small percentage of parents are seriously concerned about the posture of their children; and the outcome is that when these children reach adolescence, they show paramorphisms and dysmorphisms that are difficult to correct. The high percentage of adolescents with a poor posture may derive from a lack of postural education at home or at school [3]. Modulation of postural tone is managed by a complex system that can regulate and adapt itself, the so-called tonic postural system.…”

The percentage of children who develop postural deviations during their teens is constantly growing. Many hours of study in a sitting position, poor physical activity, and inadequate information become crucial factors leading to a wrong posture. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of untreated structural alterations, ascribed to incorrect posture (paramorphisms or dysmorphisms), in the adolescent growth phase of students at high school. The anthropometric and postural analyses of a sample of adolescents allowed the correct evaluation of their structural situation in order to establish the presence of conditions different from an ideal posture. The presence of scoliotic deviations was ascertained in 36% of students. Almost half of the students showed a non-physiological curve of the cervical and lumbar spine. A consistent part of examined students showed a non-physiological condition of shoulders (28%), scapulas (>50%), pelvis (≈50%), and hips (36.25%). A prominent malleolus was observed in 17.5% of students; 6.25% had an asymmetry between the ankles; and 18.75% had a foot deformity. If we consider that 65% of students showed a non-physiological musculoskeletal condition, we can consequently hypothesize that during the primary and middle school no one bothered to correct these

“…It should be noted that eliminating improper habitual behaviors is associated with a discomfort that decreases in young people only after 3–4 months of systematic work [ 43 ]. Early postural evaluation may help prevent or at least reduce spinal problems at later stages of life [ 44 ].…”

An analysis of literature on the methods of assuming a sitting position and the results of our own research indicated the need to search for biomechanical parameters and existing relationships that would enable a description of sitting body posture. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the alignment of the body of sternum and sacrum and the changes in the thoracic and lumbar spine curvatures in children. The study involved 113 subjects aged 9–13 years. A planned simultaneous measurement of the angle parameters of the alignment of the body of sternum and sacrum relative to the body’s sagittal axis and the angle parameters of the thoracic and lumbar spine curvatures was performed during a single examination session. The proposed markers of alignment in the corrected sitting body posture are characterized by homogeneous results. A high measurement repeatability was observed when determining the corrected body posture in the study setting. It was noted that changes in the alignment of the body of sternum and sacrum resulted in changes in the thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angle values, which may be an important component of clinical observations of sitting body posture in children. Implementing the body of sternum alignment angle of about 64° relative to the body’s sagittal axis in clinical practice as one of the objectives of postural education may be the target solution for sitting body posture correction in children.

“…Moreover, a lot of healthy people have poor postural patterns in standing, sitting and recumbent positions with non-ergonomic postural behaviors. It could be an interesting topic, still rarely studied in literature and, also, there is a gap in knowledge of anticipatory postural adjustment alterations in MS patients in the early stage [Massot et al, 2019;Nowotny-Czupryna et al, 2013].…”

BACKGROUD: Patients with MS, regardless of the complexity of the activity or sensory conditions, commonly present a significant postural control deficit compared to healthy subjects. OBJECTIVE: To investigate which postural self-correction strategies are adopted by patients with Multiple Sclerosis versus a group of healthy-subjects and how self-correction can influence the control of postural balance. METHODS: A case-control prospective observational study was conducted. Person with Multiple Sclerosis and a group of healthy volunteers were enrolled. Patients included were instructed with vocal commands, to reach a self-correction posture, and they were compared to healthy subjects. Clinical assessments including Balance, Stabilometry and Postural evaluation of the spine were performed. RESULTS: Sixty patients (30: control-group; 30: treatment-group) were enrolled. In the treatment group, the analysis reported a significant statistical difference between path length and center of pressure speed in self-correction posture with closed-eyes (p = 0,049; 0,047) and an improvement in C7 and L3 levels in self-correction posture (p < 0,01-C7; p < 0,01-L3). There are significant statistical differences about path length between the two groups in all examined conditions (p = 0,0001). At sagittal plane evaluation, results show an increase of all measurements in both posture (C7-neutral posture p = 0,0001; L3-neutral posture p = 0,0001; C7-self-correction posture p = 0,0001; L3-self-correction posture p = 0,0001). CONCLUSION: Further study should investigate dynamic situations and different Multiple Sclerosis forms to complete balance analysis and to establish a correct rehabilitative program with self-correction exercise as powerful focus.
