Abstract
This study was to investigate the relationship of headache and back shape using the Moire interferometer and Questionnaire investigations. In this study the subjects consisted of 317 pupils[168 boys(53%), 149girls(47%)] attending S high school in Sungnamsi, Kyoungkido in 2002, and their ages ranged from sixteen to eighteen. The results are following. 1. In questionnaire investigation, we observed that the ratio of headache was more than 70% and the ratio of girls are more than that of boys. The inclination for ages was not shown. 2. In moire topography, the remainder values of scapular region were from 0.5 cm to 1.1 cm in boys, and from 0.45 cm to 1 cm in girls. The remainder values of gluteal region were from 0.2 cm to 0.8 cm in boys, and from 0.4 cm to 0.6 cm in girls. The reminder values of the vertical lines of cervical and buttock region were from 0.71 cm to 1.51 cm in boys, and from 0.96 cm to 1.43 cm in girls. More frequent findings of reminder value of the vertical lines of cervical and buttock region were observed that the vertical lines of cervical region were inclined to left than the vertical lines of buttock 3. Through the Pearson's Correlation analysis of headache and Moire topography, we found the close relationship of headache and the remainder values of scapular region(Pearson correlation coefficient : 0.116, P<0.05) and gluteal region(Pearson correlation coefficient : 0.153, P<0.01). But the relevances to headache and the remainder values of neck lines, sacral lines and neck-sacral lines were not found.
