Abstract

Introduction: Many posture problems of preschool age children are indications of health problems that could become serious if not treated early. These problems are not detected in time for optimal treatment. Setting: A Serbian kindergarten. Subjects: A total of 377 children aged 7 years at baseline; 184 preschool boys and 193 preschool girls. Methods: Posture was assessed by inspecting several body sites such as head, shoulders, chest, scapulae, vertebra deviation, abdomen, legs and heels according to the method of Wolanski, N. Results: Significant differences were determined among preschool boys and girls. Neither boys nor girls had a satisfactory posture. Girls had a satisfactory status of scapulae, heels and shoulders. On the other side, boys had a satisfactory status of only vertebrae deviation. .
