Abstract

We performed the musculoskeletal examination on elementary school children and evaluate the relationship between the results of examination and their body shape measured by Rohrer Index(RI). One hundred and seventy nine elementary school children (2nd grade 89, 5th grade 90) were participated in the examination. Bowlegs (Genu varus), anterior flexion tightness, flatfoot and hollow foot, failure of crouching with their heel contact (NHC) were the common disorders. RI was low in children with Bowlegs and hollow foot. RI was high in children with NHC. Appropriate exercise and eating habit in childhood is important for preventing metabolic syndrome as well as musculoskeletal examination in children.
