Conditions

Postural deviations, Scoliosis,Kyphosis and lordosis.

Interventions

150 high students from State College professor Victor do Amaral will be assessed through: a) measurement of body mass index (BMI)
b) measuring the level of physical activity by IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire)
c) measurement of pain intensity and verification of behavioral and postural habits for the application of the Body Posture Assessment Tool and Back pain (BackPEI)
d) analysis of postural deviations by fotobiometria which consists of making photographs of individuals to measure length, position, angle, alignment, and other properties of body segments.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We expected to find moderate statistical correlation (greater than 0.30), suggesting that physical inactivity (measured by IPAQ) is associated with postural deviations identified by fotobiometria (as lumbar deviations, chest or lower limbs).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
We expected to find moderate statistical correlation (greater than 0.30), suggesting that physical inactivity (measured by IPAQ) is associated with obesity (measured by BMI), presence of pain and inadequate postural habits (identified and measured by BackPEI).
