Abstract

Background: The importance of screening for SCOLIOSIS and TRUNK DISORDERS has been accepted in many communities. The aim of present prospective study was to determine the frequency of SCOLIOSIS and TRUNK DISORDERS in high school STUDENTS in TEHRAN.Materials and Methods: During 1998-2000, a total of 2075 STUDENTS (1160 girls, 915 boys) aged 13 to 20 years (15.19±1.1) were examined randomly. The method of this study was based on interview and observation. For each individual, after collection of personal information, the data on dominant limb, familial history of SCOLIOSIS, back pain, type of chair and desk in school and at home were recorded. Physical examinations consisted of measurment of height, weight, sitting height, and evaluation for shoulder and pelvic asymmetries and round back. In addition lumbar lordosis and SCOLIOSIS were assessed by use of standard method.Results: The PREVALENCE of trunk and spinal disorders was 46.3%. The PREVALENCE in detail were obtained: shoulder asymmetry 17%, pelvic asymmetry 7.8%, structural idiopathic SCOLIOSIS 3.4%, postural SCOLIOSIS 4.9%, and round back deformity 13.2%. The mean of lumbar lordosis was 42.7 and 31.4 degrees in girls and boys respectively. Shoulder and pelvic asymmetries were seen in 8.3% of scoliotic subjects (P=0.0001). Sitting bench compare to chair increased rate of SCOLIOSIS, and round back, but decreased the degree of lumbar lordosis (P<0.05).Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be concluded that attention to the following points is very important: 1-Regular school screening for SCOLIOSIS and trunk. 2- Use of standard chairs and desks at schools. 3-Training courses for prevention and correction of bad postures in STUDENTS.
