Inappropriate postures assumed during the school become permanent in adult life. The present study had as objective to verify the incidence of more common postural deviations found in boys and girls aged between 7 and 12 years. Postural evaluation forms of 2004 were analyzed by pupils of graduation of the course of physiotherapy of the Unicastelo – Descalvado city – state of São Paulo (Brazil). From the total of forms evaluated, 73% of boys and 71% of girls showed asymmetry of shoulder; 23% of boys and 27% of girls presented changes in the thoracic spine; 35% of boys and 28% of girls presented deviations related to lumbar spine; 9% of boys and 8 % of girls showed asymmetry of the iliac crests, and the incidence of gibbosities was 16% in boys and 12% in girls. It was evident that the school has great influence on the postural changes of children.Downloads
