20.500.12556/DiRROS-20733 Forward head posture in sports-involved children Anteriorna drža glave pri otrocih, ki se ukvarjajo s športom Purpose: Forward head posture (FHP) is the most common cervical postural fault in the sagittal plane that can cause various issues and conditions. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of FHP among sports-involved children and to examine the differences in craniovertebral angle (CVA) with regard to gender, age, neck pain, and the sports in which they participate.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 154 sports-involved chil-dren (76 males and 78 females), aged 11–14, participating in various sports (basket-ball, football, volleyball, and athletics). After obtaining signed consent, photography of the sagittal view was performed in a standing position, which was then used to measure the CVA using the Web Plot Digitizer software. A questionnaire was used to gather data about gender, age, sports in which a participant is involved, presence of neck pain, and pain scale.Results: Among the 154 children, 37 (24.03%) exhibited FHP (15 males, 22 fema-les). The mean CVA for the entire sample was 51.30° ± 6.20°. Female participants had a significantly lower CVA (p = .021) compared to male participants. No significant differences were found with regard to age, presence of neck pain, or engagement in a specific sport.Conclusion: FHP is present in sports-involved children, with a higher prevalence among females Namen: Anteriorna drža glave je najpogostejša vrsta napačne drže vratu v sre-dinski ravnini, ki lahko povzroči različne težave in stanja. Z raziskavo smo želeli dolo-čiti pojavnost anteriorne drže glave pri otrocih, ki se ukvarjajo s športom, in preučiti razlike pri kraniovertebralnem kotu glede na spol, starost, bolečine v vratu in šport, s katerim se ukvarjajo.Metode: Med 154 otroki (76 moškega in 78 ženskega spola), starimi med 11 in 14 let, ki se ukvarjajo z različnimi športi (košarka, nogomet, odbojka in atletika), smo iz-vedli presečno študijo. Ko smo prejeli pisna soglasja, smo posneli fotografije sredinske ravnine v stoječem položaju, ki smo jih nato uporabili za merjenje kraniovertebralnega kota s pomočjo programske opreme Web Plot Digitizer. Z vprašalnikom smo zbrali po-datke o spolu, starosti, izbranem športu, prisotnosti bolečin v vratu in lestvici bolečine.Rezultati: Anteriorno držo glave smo odkrili pri 37 (24,03 %) od 154 otrok, in sicer pri 15 otrocih moškega in 22 otrocih ženskega spola. Povprečen kraniovertebralni kot za celoten vzorec je bil 51,30° ± 6,20°. Pri subjektih ženskega spola smo odkrili znatno manjši kraniovertebralni kot (p = .021) v primerjavi s subjekti moškega spola. Starost, prisotnost bolečin v vratu in udejstvovanje v različnih športih niso dali statistično po-membnih razlik.Zaključek: Anteriorna drža glave je prisotna med otroki, ki se ukvarjajo s športom, pri čemer je večja pojavnost značilna za ženski spol. forward head posture craniovertebral angle children physical activity sport ages 11 - 14 anteriorna drža glave kraniovertebralni kot otroci fizična aktivnost šport 11 - 14 let true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik (c) The Authors Neznano 2024-10-29 08:31:25 2024-10-29 08:31:25 2024-12-10 11:47:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 47-60 iss. 1 Vol. 15 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-10-15 796.06-053.5 2232-2620 10.35469/ak.2024.423 213238019 24_10_29_101_Karasek_213238019.pdf 24_10_29_101_Karasek_213238019.pdf 1 07AB7EFD92BAE1B50241EFD6F4886AE4 0b4fcfbc935a4240622835141b8f4b29e677bd404eb4970cdc306b0d44847ba7 f517a469-95c7-11ef-89f3-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29214 https://ojs.zrs-kp.si/index.php/AK/article/view/423 1 cf2b2923-95c7-11ef-89f3-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29212 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
