Objetivos: Evaluar el porcentaje de niños/as que presentan escoliosis o actitudes escolióticas en primaria y comprobar si dichas alteraciones biomecánicas van en aumento a medida que los niños van creciendo. Analizar si tener los pies planos o dismetrías son variables de mayor incidencia en la aparición de alteraciones biomecánicas.
Material y métodos: Se ha realizado un estudio observacional comparativo de los valores antropométricos de los estudiantes de 1º y 3º de primaria. Recogida de datos mediante exploración y aparataje propio de fisioterapia.
Podían participar en estudio 525 alumnos de 1º y 3º de todos los colegios de la misma población. Con consentimiento informado firmado por parte del colegio y los padres/madres y sin afectación traumatológica, son un total de 383 niños/as.
Resultados: De 180 niñas/os de 1º curso 11 presentaban escoliosis (6,11%) y 43 tenían actitudes escolióticas (23,88%), mientras que de 3º curso se analizaron 203 niños/as presentando 27 escoliosis (13,30%) y 30 presentaban actitudes escolióticas (14,77%).
Discusión: Incremento de 4.18% de aparición de las escoliosis en los niños/as de 1º a 3º, mientras que han descendido un 3,45% las actitudes escolióticas de primero tercero. De todos los alumnos con escoliosis solo dos han sido diagnosticados y tratados. Existe relación entre la incidencia de tener actitudes escolióticas con tener pies planos o dismetría, según el curso realizado.
Conclusiones: Las actitudes escolióticas pueden transformarse en escoliosis, si no son detectadas a tiempo para poder corregirlas. Es conveniente realizar un programa de higiene postural dentro de los centros escolares
Title of the scientific article: Scoliosis and scoliotic attitudes appearance among 1st and 3rd grade pupils.
Objectives: Evaluate the percentage of children having scoliosis or scoliotic attitudes in elementary school and verify whether these biomechanical changes increase as children grow older. Analyse whether having flat feet or limb differences are the major impact variables for the appearance of biomechanical alterations.
Methods and material: We performed a comparative observational study of anthropometric evalues of 1st and 3rd grade students. The data collection has been done by exploration and physiotherapy devices. In this study 525 pupils of 1st and 3rd grade from all schools in the same population could participate. They have participated with informed consent signed by the school and the student parents and without trauma involvement;
there is a total of 383 children.
Results: From 180 1st Year girls/boys, 11 had scoliosis (6.11%) and 43 had scoliotic attitudes (23.88%), while 203 3rd year’s children scoliosis were analysed presenting 27 (13.30% ) scoliosis and 30 (14.77%) had scoliotic attitudes.
Discussion: 4.18% increased occurrence of scoliosis in 1st to 3rd grade children, while the scoliotic attitudes fell by 3.45% from 1st to 3rd grade. From all students with scoliosis only two have been diagnosed and treated.
There is a relationship between the incidence of having scoliotic attitudes and having flat feet or limb loss, according to the course conducted.
Conclusions: Scoliotic attitudes can turn into scoliosis, if they are not detected in time to correct them. It is advisable to
