Abstract
The focus of this study is to introduce the relationship between the Forward Bending Test and scoliosis. Our research screening process was conducted on elementary fifth and sixth grade school children. X-ray analysis on students who tested positive on the Forward Bending Test showed a strong positive relationship between the two. Thus, it is desirable that local schools participate actively in taking the Forward Bending Test for early detection of scoliosis among school children. In addition, schools should educate their students technigues that prevent scoliosis and the progress of it by teaching technigues how to sit up as well as muscle enhancing exercises around the spine and pelvic area.
1. 조사한 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생 중 약 10%가 등심대 검사상 양성 반응을 나타내었으며, 이들 중 정밀검사 받은 학생 대부분(88%)이 만곡을 가지고 있었다. 2. 척추측만증을 가진 학생들의 체격은 (신장, 체중)표본검사와 비교하여 차이점이 없음. 3. 어깨선 변형, 견갑후방돌출, 늑골변형, 요추부돌출이 등심대 검사의 주된 소견이며 좌측이 많음. 4. X-Ray 소견은 거의 대부분 경한 측만소견과 회전소견을 보이고 있음. 5. 증세는 요통이 제일 많았으며, 거의 대부분 모르는 사이 진행됨. 6. 자세 바르게 앉기와 등뼈 주변근육 및 골반 근육강화운동으로 척추측만증의 진행을 막을 수 있었다.
