Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad pruža detaljan pregled posturalnih problema kod djece, s fokusom na uzroke, rizike i prevenciju. Pravilna tjelesna postura smatra se važnim indikatorom dobrog zdravlja i pravilnog rasta i razvoja. Kralježnica igra ključnu ulogu u održavanju pravilne posture. Posturalni problemi su česti kod djece i mogu negativno utjecati na tjelesno zdravlje i samopouzdanje. Rizici za razvoj nepravilnog držanja uključuju nepravilan položaj prilikom sjedenja, nedostatak tjelesne aktivnosti i pretilost. Prevencija posturalnih problema kod djece je od velike važnosti, a vježbanje kroz igru se preporučuje kao prirodan način liječenja. U okviru istraživanja provedenog na djeci predškolske dobi, analizirana je prevalencija nepravilnog tjelesnog držanja, identificirana su područja koja su najviše pogođena i istražene su razlike pojavnosti posturalnih problema između muškog i ženskog spola. Rezultati su pokazali da 89.36% djece ima neki oblik posturalnog problema, dok samo 10.64% ima izvrsno držanje. Najveća učestalost posturalnih odstupanja zabilježena je u položaju trbuha kod 34.04% ispitanika, u položaju lopatica kod 42.55% ispitanika te u obliku svodova stopala, kod čak 48.94% ispitanika. Razlike u posturalnim odstupanjima između muškog i ženskog spola su minimalne. Rezultati pružaju temelje za daljnje intervencije i preventivne mjere.

Abstract (english)

This thesis provides a detailed overview of postural problems in children, focusing on causes, risks, and prevention. Proper body posture is considered a crucial indicator of good health and proper growth and development. The spine plays a key role in maintaining correct posture. Postural problems are common in children and can have negative effects on their physical health and self-confidence. Risk factors for developing improper posture include incorrect sitting position, lack of physical activity, and obesity. Prevention of postural problems in children is of great importance, and exercise through play is recommended as a natural treatment method. The research conducted on preschool-aged children analyzed the prevalence of improper body posture, identified the most affected areas, and explored the differences in the occurrence of postural problems between male and female genders. The results showed that 89.36% of children have some form of postural problem, while only 10.64% have excellent posture. The highest frequency of postural deviations was observed in the abdominal position among 34.04% of participants, the shoulder position among 42.55% of participants, and foot arches among a significant 48.94% of participants. The differences in postural deviations between male and female genders are minimal. These results provide a foundation for further interventions and preventive measures.
