Abstract

The present study determines the risk postural habits that can generate hyperlordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis in children from 11 to 13 years old in the Manuel Ignacio Monteros school of Loja city. The study was carried out to a population of 83 students. We applied a survey to analyze the postural habits adopted both in the house and in the educational institution, as well as the way of carrying, the type and weight of the backpack. In addition, an observation technique was used through a checklist to assess the postures of students in the chair and when lifting objects from the ground. For the analysis, the Adams test and the sagittal arrow test were applied to obtain the indices of kyphosis and lordosis, as well as the level of scoliosis. According to the results, there are deficiencies in postural habits, since 70.75% have incorrect postures when lifting light objects and 60.55% of students who have posture problems do not have a correct position in the chair. It is concluded that the column alterations are related to the weight of the backpack and the posture habits.
