“…In lumbar lordosis the aligned position of the pelvis is compromised by the unequal contracting forces of the abdominal and hamstring muscles that should normally be in balance with each other (Jang, Koh, & Han, 2013). Physical factors with the highest odds for lower back pain are a higher lumbar lordotic apex and an increased pelvis retroversion (Dolphens et al, 2016).…”

The aim of this research is to determine the relation between body height and lordotic posture in preschool children. The survey was conducted on a sample of 149 participants (78 boys and 71 girls), aged 6 years (± 6 months), of an average body height (BH) of 121.94±10.29 cm, and the body mass 23.20±4.83kg in the city of Kragujevac (Serbia). To assess lordotic posture, the Spinal Mouse was used, and all values above 30˚ were treated as disorders in the lumbar region. In determining the size of the body, the Anthropometer by Martin is used, and the participants were divided into five groups by height. The existence and size of the correlation between the investigated areas was calculated by the use of the Pearson's chi-squared test and contingency coefficient as a measure of correlation. From the total sample, lortodic posture is present in 8.05 % of the participants, and in terms of gender the incidence of poor posture is equal. Lordotic posture is most pronounced in the group of boys and girls with the BH of 123.01-127.00 cm, followed by the group of girls with a BH of 121.51-123.00 cm. The lowest incidence of lordotic posture is determined in the groups with BH over 127.01 cm, and below 119 cm. The values of the Pearson's chi-squared test indicate a statistically significant correlation between lordotic posture and body height, with a significance 0.03.

“…(2) Normal alignment of the pelvis is affected by the contracting forces of the muscles around it, for example, the abdominal and hamstring muscles. (3) When the flexibility of the hamstring muscles is reduced, movement of the pelvis is limited, causing change in the pelvic rhythm.…”

Introduction: The alignment between the anterior superior and posterior inferior iliac spines is closely related to lumbar curvature in sagittal plane. Objetive: To characterize the flexibility and angulations of lumbar spine and to relation the pelvis in sagittal plane in preschool children in municipal schools in Londrina/PR/BR. Methods: Participated in the study 138 children aged between five and six years of municipal school in Londrina. The assessment was performed by photogrammetry method, sagittal pelvic balance test, extended limb elevation test by flexi meter and Thomas’ Test. The evaluations were done in the schools. Results: There was not difference in angles of lumbar between sexes, weight and ages. In the sagittal pelvic balance the most children presented retroversion (56.6%). Children with pelvis in anteversion (4.3%) presented the lower lumbar angles, indicated hyperlordosis. The children with pelvic balance presented a great flexibility of hamstrings muscle than retroversion and anteversion. Conclusion: Flexibility is greater in girls and in children with five years old. The lumbar angle was 24.07º. The pelvis in retroversion in most children, differing from the expected for the age group. The lower angle of the back was corresponding to a pelvis in anteversion and balanced.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of posture correctional programs using basic TaeKwonDo movements. [Subjects] The subjects were TaeKwonDo trainees attending an elementary school in B city. They were separated into experimental and control groups according to posture problems found during posture analysis. [Methods] The subjects of the training exercise program performed basic TaeKwonDo movements for 8 weeks, 3 times per week. The TaeKwonDo exercise program consisted of basic TaeKwonDo movements including Hwangso Makki, Meongye Chigi, Olgul Makki, Olgul Yop Makki, Batangson Arae Makki, Momtong An Makki and Apkubi. [Results] Hwangso Makki and Meongye Chigi movements had a significant positive effect on the correction of neck inclination. Olgul Makki, Olgul Yop Makki, Batangson Arae Makki and Momtong An Makki movements had beneficial effects on the correction of shoulder inclination. Apkubi movement had a significant beneficial effect on the correction of pelvis inclination. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated that an exercise program consisting of basic TaeKwonDo movements is an effective means of posture correction.
