Abstract(s)
Na Europa entre 20 a 30% dos adultos são afectados por dores músculo-esqueléticas. Em
Portugal cerca de 1,2 milhões de pessoas apresentam dores de costas semanalmente. Os
problemas posturais são evidenciados na fase adulta ou idosa no entanto podem ter origens nas
etapas de crescimento. É fundamental proceder à avaliação dos problemas posturais nos jovens
para se poder intervir ao nível da correcção, prevenção e da educação nos hábitos e estilos de
vida. O presente trabalho tem como objectivo realizar a caracterização postural de jovens
universitários de modo (1) a conhecer-se melhor os problemas e distorções posturais desta
população, relacionando-os com os seus hábitos de vida e prática desportiva, (2) evidenciar e
mostrar a importância da postura no contexto da promoção e educação para a saúde, e (3)
valorizar a necessidade de integrar a avaliação postural, como instrumento de diagnóstico, no
âmbito do Desporto/Saúde. A amostra foi constituída por 40 alunos do curso Ciências do
Desporto da Universidade da Beira Interior, sendo 21 mulheres e 19 homens, com idade média
de 22 (±2) anos e índice massa corporal de 22 (±3) kg/m2. Na avaliação postural estática foi
utilizado o protocolo proposto por Muscolino (2006), e na avaliação postural dinâmica foi
utilizado o protocolo adaptado de Clark (2001). Os dados foram obtidos através da utilização
de um simetógrafo e de uma máquina de filmar. A maioria dos jovens universitários (88%)
apresentam distorções posturais significativas, nomeadamente assimetrias e desalinhamentos
corporais ao nível dos ombros e cristas íliacas, observando-se um maior número de assimetrias
posturais no género feminino (57%), com localização preferencial do lado direito (p<0,05). A
escoliose foi a alteração da curvatura da coluna predominante, atingindo cerca de 52,5% da
amostra, seguida da hiperlordose (25%) e da hipercifose (17,5%). A taxa de incidência da
escoliose por género foi idêntica, mas observou-se maior incidência da hipercifose nos homens
(86%), associados com a rotação anterior dos ombros e retroversão da bacia, e maior incidência
da hiperlordose nas mulheres (80%), associados a valores elevados de anteversão da bacia,
rotação interna dos joelhos e instabilidade pélvica. Os resultados mostram a necessidade
urgente de desenvolver um trabalho específico de consciencialização corporal, de reequilíbrio
neuromuscular e de educação postural na população universitária de modo a salvaguardar o seu
bem estar e qualidade de vida. A avaliação postural, como instrumento de diagnóstico, é
fundamental ser considerada na orientação das actividades no âmbito desporto/saúde.
In Europe 20 or 30% of grown-ups ate affected by muscle skeleton pains. In Portugal about 1,2 million of persons have backache every week. Postural problems become evident in the course of growing. It is fundamental to proceed with evaluation in young persons in order to apply prevention measures, education habits and right style of life. As there are no information relevant about posture characteristics of Portuguese university students, purpose of this work of investigation is to proceed with characteristics analysis in a way to; (1) be well acquainted of posture problems and distortions of this population and relationship with their life and athletics habits. (2) make evident and show clearly the importance of posture in a health promotion and education argument. (3) increase the value of need to integrate postural evaluation in Sport/Health activities as an instrument of diagnosis to add to other evaluations. Sample has been composed of 40 students of Sports Science Degree of “Beira Interior University” with 21 women and 19 men of medium age of 22 (±2) and corporal mass index of 22 (±3) kg/m2 . It has been used the protocol of statics posture evaluation proposed by Muscolino (2006) and dynamic developed by Clark (2001). Data have been obtained using a posturalgrip and a shooting camera. The majority of young university persons (88%) have serious postural distortions namely asymmetries and body deviations on shoulders and iliac spines registering more cases by female (57%) whose postural asymmetries are located specially on right side (p<0,05). Scoliosis is the modification of vertebral column predominant curve shape 52,5% of sample followed by hyperlordosis (25%) and hyperkyphosis (17,5%). Scoliosis rate occurrence has been similar either by male or female. However more men presented cases of hyperkyphosis (86%) characterized by fore rotation of shoulders and hip retroflexion and women presented more cases (86%) of hyperlordosis associated to high values of hip foreflexion, inward knees rotation and pelvic instability. That is why results apply for an urgent need to develop a specific work with university people based on body perception, neuromuscular rebalance and postural education so as to defend their well being and life style. Postural evaluation is a major instrument for diagnosis and must always be esteemed when orientation sportive/health activities demands.
