“…On the other hand, the findings of the present study are consistent with those obtained in a research of school-age children from 7 to 10 years. The study showed, by qualitative analysis of photographs, a higher incidence of postural changes in children in this age, including head and cervical spine, which may be related to muscular, skeletal and flexibility individual differences (27) . Authors who have studied the body posture of children selected according to the breathing mode affirm that postural changes are common in childhood, but the persistent mouth breathing seems to contribute to these changes maintenance and increase, which may be more evident in later stages of development (8) .…”

“…The changes in stomatognathic system, especially the breathing mode, can directly influence the head and cervical spine postures (26) . However, the body posture may be influenced by many other intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as heredity, physical conditions that the child is exposed, level of physical activity, physiological adaptations due to growth and body development, among others (21,27,28) . It is believed that all these factors involved in postural control would justify the findings of this study, once the change in the horizontal alignment of the head occurred independently of the breathing mode and the mouth breathing etiology, contradicting the findings of several authors who observed more evident changes in head posture in mouth breathers (2,8,9,19,26,29) .…”

OBJETIVO: Verificar o tipo facial e a postura de cabeça de crianças respiradoras nasais, e respiradoras orais de etiologia obstrutiva e viciosa, e correlacionar o índice morfológico da face à angulação da postura da cabeça no plano sagital. MÉTODOS: Participaram 59 crianças com idades entre 8 anos e 11 anos e 10 meses. Todas passaram por triagem fonoaudiológica, avaliação otorrinolaringológica, e exame de nasofibrofaringoscopia, o que possibilitou a constituição de três grupos: com respiração nasal - 15 crianças; com respiração oral obstrutiva - 22 crianças; e com respiração oral viciosa - 22 crianças. Foram mensuradas a altura e a largura da face com paquímetro digital, para determinação do índice e do tipo facial. A postura da cabeça foi avaliada por meio de exame físico e fotogrametria computadorizada. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se predomínio de face curta nos respiradores nasais e de face longa nos respiradores orais. Houve associação entre tipo facial e modo respiratório/etiologia da respiração oral, o tipo braquifacial foi mais frequente nos respiradores nasais e menos frequente nos respiradores orais de etiologia obstrutiva. As crianças dos três grupos apresentaram postura de cabeça semelhante. Não foi verificada correlação entre índice morfológico da face e a postura da cabeça. CONCLUSÃO: O tipo braquifacial favorece o modo respiratório nasal e que a postura da cabeça não é influenciada pelo modo respiratório e etiologia da respiração oral, assim como não está relacionada ao tipo facial.

“…All people desire a good body posture, one in which the joints that bare the weight are in alignment and with minimal burden on the muscles and ligaments [1][2][3][4] . A poor body alignment can affect the load distribution, providing a pressure on the articular surfaces that can contribute to joint degeneration and inadequate muscle strains [3][4][5] .…”

“…A poor body alignment can affect the load distribution, providing a pressure on the articular surfaces that can contribute to joint degeneration and inadequate muscle strains [3][4][5] . Inadequate tension in the cervical region can lead to changes in head position and neck, such as anteriorization, posteriorization, lateralization and cervical rotation 3 .…”

| Scientific articles about reliability of photogrammetry for cervical spine posture evaluation are infrequent. The aim of the present investigation is to verify intra-and inter-examiner reliability of the computerized photogrammetry method for head postural evaluation in lateral view. Twenty-five young women, between 20 and 30 years old, were positioned seated in an upright position and photographed in lateral view. The photographs were imported to Corel Draw X13 program for postural evaluation by computerized photogrammetry. Analyses of intra-and inter-examiner reliability were performed for the angles: condyle-acromion (ACA), menton-sternum (AME) and Frankfurt (AF). The photogrammetry was performed by two examiners: EA and EB. For intra-examiner analyses, EA assessed the pictures twice (A1 and A2) for the same angles within 3 months. For the inter-examiner analyses, EB performed the photogrammetry for the same angles (B1) in order to compare with the data from EA. Using the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) we observed an excellent correlation in the intra-examiner analysis (A1 and A2) for the angles: ACA and AME (both with ICC=1.0); and AF (ICC=0.78). For the inter-examiner analyses between A1 and B1, it was observed: ACA (ICC=0.24), AME (ICC=0.26) and AF (ICC=0.00). For the comparison between A2 and Reliability intra-and inter-examiner of the head postural assessment by computerized photogrammetry B1, the ICC values were: 0.23; 0.27 and 0.00, respectively for ACA, AME and AF, classified as weak correlations. In conclusion, the photogrammetry is reliable when performed by the same examiner. The inter-examiner assess showed low reliability, what could have been compromised by the reduced experience of the EB in applying the method.Keywords | Photogrammetry; Posture; Reproducibility of Results.RESUMO | A literatura sobre confiabilidade da fotogrametria para avaliação postural cervical é escassa. O objetivo do presente estudo é verificar a confiabilidade inter e intraexaminador da fotogrametria computadorizada para a avaliação postural da cabeça em vista lateral. Vinte e cinco mulheres jovens foram posicionadas sentadas com a coluna ereta e fotografadas em vista lateral. As fotografias foram importadas pelo programa Corel Draw X3 para a avaliação postural por fotogrametria computadorizada. As análises de confiabilidade intra e interexaminadores foram realizadas para os ângulos: côndilo-acrômio (ACA), mento-esternal (AME) e de Frankfurt (AF).

“…Muitos dos problemas posturais que acometem a população em geral, em especial aqueles relacionados com a coluna vertebral, têm sua origem no perío-do de crescimento e desenvolvimento corporal (PENHA et al, 2008;SMITH, O'SULLIVAN, STAKER, 2008), o qual coincide com a fase em que as crianças estão frequentando a escola. Dentre estes problemas, citam-se as algias na região das costas, as alterações de morfologia da coluna vertebral e a utilização inadequada da mecânica corporal nas atividades de vida diária (AVD's).…”
