Abstract: |
Body posture is the relationship between body segments inherent in the ability to maintain postural control in the interaction of the body with gravity and environment. In child development, the trunk plays a crucial role in postural control. Thus, postural trunk stability and vertical orientation is an important skill for the upper limbs to perform selective tasks. Furthermore, trunk mobility during position changes is also relevant, while the upper limbs allow for stability through the arms support function. The child's postural interactions with their natural environment can be more or less varied and, therefore, will influence the internal references in the central nervous system. Thus, this observational study aimed to understand the children’s body postures during interactions with their natural preschool environment and whether these postures are helpful or harmful to their posture development. This study also aimed to understand the perceptions of parents, and the educational team regarding what constitutes correct and incorrect body posture and what influences both. |

|
Data Sources: |
Anthropometric data - GIMA, model GBF-2008-B1 and wall altimeter GIMA (0-200 cm) For the collection of observational data 4 video cameras (SANYO HD MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; SONY® Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V; SONY® DCR-TRV14E; Canon DS126431) were used Audio |
|
Characteristics of Data Collection Situation: |
The video cameras were placed in the room to ensure observation of all the participants in the different activities and routines of preschool. All the procedures were explained to the participant children in simple terms, tailored to their capabilities, and all children agreed the observation and the collection of video data of their participation in preschool routines. The interviews with parents and the educational team had a mean duration of 15 minutes. |
