Summary
Brief summary
During the infancy, the posture undergoes many adjustments related to growth stages due to changes of the body proportions. The formation of the body schema, in childhood, occurs through the motor experiences and allows the tonic-postural structuration, so the postural imbalance obtained in this period can last for the entire adolescence and adult life. The purpose of this study was to characterize quantitatively the posture of children between 7 and 8 years of age and to verify the difference between sex and age for the analyzed postural aspects.
