Abstract

<p>The aim of this study was to investigate changes in sagittal posture alignment in quiet standing during a period of growth in Japanese middle and high school students. Measurements were taken from one hundred male students, from the first year of middle school up to the second year of high school, with their head and shoulders angled forward. The head and shoulder forward angle significantly shifted in students from the time they were in the second year of middle school to the time they were in the first year of high school (p=0.001-0.006). The results showed that static posture alignment can change easily during this period. Therefore, it may be important to encourage middle school students to maintain correct posture alignment at home and in school.</p>
