Feasibility of shadow Moiré Technique to identify postural disorders in schoolchildren

Keywords: Adolescent, Children, Feasibility studies, Moire Topography

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the feasibility of the Shadow Moiré Technique (SMT) in carrying out periodic school screenings and to identify the prevalence of postural disorders in students from a public school in Rio de Janeiro. The sample was comprised of 304 students. The SMT exam was based on the difference in the number of fringes in the dorsal and scapulothoracic regions. The feasibility of the SMT was identified based on predetermined parameters. Two hundred and twenty-five subjects were identified with fringe difference in the dorsal region and 224 were identified with fringe difference in the scapulothoracic region. Regarding feasibility, the sample was examined over the period of 7 days. There were no difficulties in obtaining the materials, in the use of the technique or in the processing of the images. SMT was considered feasible to screen the population and it allows for large-scale periodic examination. The SMT can be a strategy for implementing public health programs at school aiming at improving the quality of life.
