Vandana Esht, Ajita
Abstract :
Body Posture is intentionally or habitually assumed position in space by an individual. Neutral posture is
a resting position of all body joints and soft tissues in least tension. Various Postural variations cause undue tension or lengthening of muscles, affecting their strength and endurance. Present study was an on–field study on
135 children between 4–14 years of age to determine the relation of age and various postural variations. Participants
were divided into 5 groups according to age, and their weight and heights measured. Posture was observed using
a plumb line in sagittal and frontal planes. Results showed a significant relation of age with development of posture
patterns. It was concluded that there is a need for maintenance of normal posture from early years of life, taking conscious efforts and compulsory education in children about the relative importance of having good posture for betterment of life and health
