“…Recent epidemiological studies have indicated that the prevalence of postural deformities has increased significantly over the past decades due to life style modification. The reported prevalence rate for the deformities has great variability ranging from 10 to 70% (3,4). Some factors including age, gender, and ethnicity, somatic structure of the bone joints and muscles and mental status are associated with the disorders (5).…”

Investigaciones confirman la necesidad de intervenciones por parte de profesionales de salud y educación, que permitan apoyar, estimular y reforzar el enfrentamiento de este problema [9,[27][28][29][30], buscando corregir hábitos inadecuados de la postura corporal que con el tiempo puedan agravarse y causar daños irreversibles 7,31 . En este sentido, se justifica la importancia de promover un programa de ejercicio físico que auxilie las alteraciones posturales ya presentes o que acompañe el desarrollo postural en la escuela en pro de una mejor calidad de vida cuando adulto.…”
