Analysis of the relationship between the quality of body posture and occlusion in children and adolescents
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose. Body posture constitutes integral whole, so the formation of the temporomandibular joints should hypothetically correspond to the remaining parts of motor organ. On account of this assumption, an attempt was made to assess the body posture in groups according to presence of malocclusion. Material and methods. 336 children were examined including 173 girls and 163 boys aged 8-14. All the subjects underwent assessment of the body posture with use of Kasperczyk's point classification and assessment of the occlusion according to scale drawn up by Emmerich-Popłatek.Results. There was significant diversification (p<0.01) of mean value of body posture assessment between groups – with and without malocclusions. All parts assessed with use of Kasperczyk's point classification were analyzed and tested if there was a connection with the quality of occlusion. A statistically significant connection of malocclusion was found with shoulders set asymmetrically and protractionally (p=0.03) and the shoulder blades standing out from the back surface (p=0.03).Conclusions. Quality of body posture of children with malocclusions is significantly worse comparing to children without malocclusion. In the compared groups there was significant diversity of shoulders and shoulder blades setting.
