Spine shape in sagittal and frontal planes in short- and tall-statured children aged 13 years.

The article presents a study on the posture quality of short and tall 13-year-old primary school children by evaluating their sagittal spine profile and lateral curvatures in Biala Podlaska, Poland. A posturometer is used to measure the angles of spine curvatures of the participants for the analysis. Results show that spinal angles of tall children, mostly girls were than the short ones. It suggests that regular posture monitoring is needed to avoid posture disorders in 13-year-old children.
