چکیده
Material and methods 126 primary school pupils, 60 girls and 66 boys, aged 7.0 to 13.0 years (9.1±1.6), were examined in standing position twice: in a relaxed posture and in actively corrected posture (after the “straight the back” command). Children were not instructed what corrected posture means. Spinous processes of C7, Th6, Th12 and S1 were clinically identified. Sagittal clinical angles: C7-Th6 (upper thoracic kyphosis, UTK), Th6-Th12 (lower thoracic kyphosis, LTK), Th12-S1 (lumbar lordosis, LL) and sacral inclination (SI) were measured with Rippstein plurimeter [1-4]. Significance of difference of the means was checked with paired t-test.
