摘要

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to investigate the incidence of common postural faults among adolescence and to examine the relationships existed among postural faults, psychological distress, and musculoskeletal symptoms. Methods: Before the physical examination, Musculoskeletal Questionnaires (MSQ) and Chinese Health Questionnaires (CHQ) were randomly distributed to 300 students of four high schools in Tainan area. On campus physical examinations included postural screening (students were photographed by digital camera in front of a postural grid), muscle strength examination, as well as flexibility tests. Results: 287 participants completed all of the examinations. The photographs, the highest incidence of faulty posture was uneven shoulder level (36%), follow by forehead posture (25%). There was significant difference in the faulty posture incidence between boys and girls, especially the forehead posture (p＜ .001). Besides, the difference of incidence in musculoskeletal symptoms between high and low psychological groups was significant (p＜ .05), especially in neck, back, and shoulder areas. We did not find correlation existed among faulty posture, psychological distress, and musculoskeletal symptoms. Conclusio1l: The results of this study indicate that the incidence of faulty posture is high among adolescents and it might be due to multiple reasons. This kind of surveillance can conduct, preclinical detection of disorders, and perm it early intervention. Establishing a multiprofessional intervention model of faulty posture will be beneficial to this population.
