Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Growth and Developmental Disorder Pediatrics Summary: Background : Postural abnormalities are often found in children. At school age , posture undergoes many adjustments and adaptations due to body changes.Purpose: The main objectives of this study were to identify which postural deviations occur most frequently in girls school students between age 7 to 9 years old and to provide information to parents as well as teachers about the problem of poor posture. Methods: Three hundred thirty seven normal girl students , aged from 7 to 9 years old in governmental schools in western educational district in Alexandria. They were photographed in the sagittal and frontal planes ( Anterior , posterior and lateral views) detecting certain bony landmarks using markers from standing position, Then images were analyzed by Posture Zone software program to analyze and document postural findings . The variables which analyzed were : 1 ) Head antepulsion (foreward head ) , 2 ) Postural scliosis , 3 ) Postural kyphosis , 4 ) Sway back (Excessive lumbar hyperlordosis ).Results : Screening showed that the most common postural deviations recorded were moderate mild head antepulsion (33.23%) , postural kyphosis (44%), and mild postural excessive hyperlordosis (45%) , But the least common postural deviations were moderate forward head posture ( 14.55 % ), postural scliosis (right scliosis = 12.17%) and (left scliosis = 15.43 %), flattened upper back (13%) and flattened lumber curve (9%). Conclusion:High incidences of postural alterations occur in children of school age. Some of these reflect normal postural development, and get corrected during the child{u2019}s growth. On the other hand, some alterations can result in negative impacts on the quality of life during childhood and adulthood. So it is a must to emphasize the importance of providing information to parents and teachers about the problem of bad posture
