Defining patterns of Sagittal Standing Posture in girls and boys of school age
Araújo, F; Severo, M; Alegrete, N; Howe, LD; Lucas, RBackground: Sagittal postural patterns are associated with back pain in adolescents and adults. However, whether postural patterns are already observable during childhood is unknown. Such a finding would confirm childhood as a key period for posture differentiation and thus for chronic pain etiology. Objective: The aims of this study were to identify and describe postural patterns in girls and boys of school ag...
A shared biomechanical environment for bone and posture development in children
Araújo, F; Martins, A; Alegrete, N; Howe, LD; Lucas, RBackground Context: In each specific habitual standing posture, gravitational forces determine the mechanical setting provided to skeletal structures. Bone quality and resistance to physical stress is highly determined by habitual mechanical stimulation. However, the relationship between bone properties and sagittal posture has never been studied in children. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the associa...
Associations of anthropometry since birth with sagittal posture at age 7 in a p...
Araújo, F; Lucas, R; Simpkin, AJ; Heron, J; Alegrete, N; Tilling, K; Howe, LD; Barros, HObjectives Adult sagittal posture is established during childhood and adolescence. A flattened or hypercurved spine is associated with poorer musculoskeletal health in adulthood. Although anthropometry from birth onwards is expected to be a key influence on sagittal posture design, this has never been assessed during childhood. Our aim was to estimate the association between body size throughout childhood with ...
Linear spline multilevel models for summarising childhood growth trajectories: ...
Howe, LD; Tilling, K; Matijasevich, A; Petherick, ES; Santos, AC; Fairley, L; Wright, J; Santos, IS; Barros, AJD; Martin, RM; Kramer, MS; Bogdanovich, NChildhood growth is of interest in medical research concerned with determinants and consequences of variation from healthy growth and development. Linear spline multilevel modelling is a useful approach for deriving individual summary measures of growth, which overcomes several data issues (co-linearity of repeat measures, the requirement for all individuals to be measured at the same ages and bias due to missi...
