Abstract: BACKGROUND: The child’s spine shows changes in posture and balance of its curvatures during growth and musculoskeletal spinal conditions are likely to develop, such as back pain (BP). OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were (a) to describe the sagittal spinal alignment in a relaxed standing position and (b) to analyze its association with BP among 8 to 12-year-old children. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 731 elementary schoolchildren (379 girls and 352 boys), from 16 Spanish schools, … Show more

“…These results are similar to those previously reported [10,15,17,46,47]. Indeed, male CAA in the present study had higher values of thoracic curvature and higher hyperkyphosis frequency than females in the relaxed standing position, slump sitting position, and maximum trunk forward flexion position; these results are consistent with those reported in trampoline gymnasts [17,46], artistic gymnasts [15], and the non-athletic population [48,49]. Considering these results, the male athletes of this study could have a higher influence of upper crossed syndrome.…”

“…The scientific literature supports the fact that female athletes in different sports such as elite trampoline gymnasts [17,46], dressage, and show jumping riders [6] and also in the non-athletic population [48,49] have higher values of lumbar curvature in the relaxed standing position than their male counterparts. This misalignment of the lumbar can be caused by the lower crossed syndrome [3,54].…”

“…In terms of the progression of pain, they concluded that pain appeared to be mild in nature, relatively infrequent and of low intensity in the majority of participants, while a group of participants (14–20% of the sample) were more frequently and severely affected by BP. In a Spanish sample, the prevalence of BP within the last week in school children (8–12 years) was reported to be 10.6% (1.7% NP, 7.7 MBP and 2.9% LBP) and in high school students (12–17 years) the prevalence of BP within the last week was 25.7% [ 7 , 8 ]. The presence of BP in childhood and adolescence can lead to absenteeism from school, the need for medical treatment and medication [ 1 , 9 ] and limitations to activities of daily living (ADL) (e.g., standing in a queue, carrying a backpack or performing physical activities) [ 1 , 2 ].…”

“…Therefore, prevention of LBP in competitive soccer and basketball players is important to health and sport professionals. Based on assumptions, clinical findings, and scientific studies, various risk factors-such as high body mass [1,10], sports experience [1], muscle weakness [11,12], muscle tightness [13][14][15], sagittal lumbo-pelvic misalignments [12,16], and sagittal spinal misalignments [17,18]-have been postulated as potential predictors of LBP in athletes and general population. In this sense, lumbar hyperlordosis in standing [19][20][21] and lumbar hypolordosis or hypokyphosis-posterior convexity-in trunk forward flexion [22] positions have been associated with LBP.…”
