Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study sought to investigate the shape of spine in students aged 10-13 according to gender and age in order
to obtain basic data for early detection and prevention of spine curvature disorders.
Methods: 10 to 13-year-old primary school students. The pelvic tilt, trunk imbalance, thoracic kyphosis and lumber lordosis were investigated using the Formetric 4D system, which is a device developed to evaluate the spine position.
Results: More subjects showed normal pelvic tilt, imbalanced trunk towards the left and decreased thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis. The results of this study stressed the importance of regular check-ups to evaluate the spinal position among adolescents who are in their growing period.
Conclusion: Further studies should be conducted to educate the public about preventing spinal deformity and carry out a primary screening program regularly for the early detection of spinal disorders.
