The Importance of Modern Non-Invasive Methods for Assessing Students’ Postural Deficiencies
Due to their daily habits, young people’s posture is a challenge. The aim of this observational study is to present Spinal Mouse device posture assessment in 20 students (average age 18,05 yrs, 20 boys) who exhibit variations in habits due to the use of electronic devices. A structured questionnaire highlights screen time as a key factor in technology-related spinal risk for spine diseases. The results show us that the main value in the region is around 0° and indicate that both vertebral bodies of a sector have practically not moved from one posture to the next. These methods used in prevention help to design correction programs, contributing to the improvement of young people's spinal health.
