Introduction[edit | edit source]

Contributing Factors to Scoliosis[edit | edit source]

There is no conclusive correlation has been found between scoliosis and adopting poor postures or carrying heavy backpacks. However, prolonged incorrect sitting posture or the heavy weight of  backpacks may cause paravertebral muscle fatigue and increased ligament pressure, which increases the risk of developing scoliosis. Unfortunately, there is insufficient evidence to support this association [1].

Moreover, a potential relationship between strabismus and scoliosis has recently been identified. Patients with strabismus are much more likely to develop dorsal scoliosis because they have altered visual-spatial perception and asymmetrical postural responses[2]. Adolescents are more likely to develop scoliosis if they suffer from back pain for more than 3 hours per day, have developmental dysmorphism, or participate in a high-risk sport (such as gymnastics).[3]

Schoolchildren are particularly vulnerable to scoliosis due to environmental factors such as school furniture, prolonged sitting, excess weight, asymmetrical backpack support, and daily habits. In the context of daily habits, children are increasingly using cell phones, video games, and desktop computers, which may encourage sedentary behavior. Sedentary behavior is associated with a variety of diseases, including musculoskeletal disorders that may cause inappropriate postures in students, as well as causing discomfort.[4]
