Correlation between abnormal posture, screen time, physical activity, and suspected scoliosis: a cross-sectional study
The results show a substantial correlation between the incidence of suspected scoliosis and abnormal posture. Moreover, a marked correlation exists between distinct activity patterns, particularly extended usage of electronic devices and television, and the incidence of suspected scoliosis. Screening for abnormal posture and performing the FBT can help detect suspected scoliosis, which requires further clinical assessment to differentiate between postural deviations and scoliosis. We advise middle and primary school kids to modify their daily routines by decreasing sedentary behavior and enhancing physical activity to mitigate the potential occurrence of trunk asymmetries.
