Abstract
Background: A whole-body alignment assessment in standing position is the popular method. However, the main posture in student’s life is a sitting position. The study of postural changes between standing and sitting positions is an important for planning treatment of idiopathic scoliosis school age groups.
Objective: To compare the postural score that received from the (Reedco Postural Score) RPS between standing and sitting postures in 30 female adolescents aged 10 - 16 years with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). There were 30 able-bodied female adolescents in a control group (matched age and weight).
Methods: All participants were received photo taking from 2 planes while they were standing and sitting. The photos of participant's posture were scored with the RPS sheet by a pair of physical therapists. Two - way ANOVA was used to compare differences between these variables and set the significance level at p <0.05.
Results: IS group has a significantly higher sitting posture score (73.15 ± 12.81) more than the standing postural score (61.50 ± 13.14) (p <0.001). In addition, the control group has higher sitting posture score (93.89 ± 7.77) more than standing postural score (87.33 ± 7.63) (p <0.001). The comparing between groups found that the IS group has a lower sitting and standing postural score than the control group (p <0.001), p <0.001, respectively).
Conclusion: The appropriated sitting position can help promoting the symmetry of the posture rather than standing position.
