    This study establishes normal ranges for anterior and lateral spinal flexion in healthy adolescents aged 10-15. These measurements are crucial for identifying potential spinal conditions in children.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Adolescent Musculoskeletal Health

    Background:

    • Childhood spinal conditions can limit movement, impacting growth and activity.
    • Conditions include juvenile ankylosing spondylitis, spondylolisthesis, Scheuermann's disease, discitis, and vertebral fractures.
    • Prolonged corticosteroid use in children can increase fracture risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define normal ranges for anterior and lateral spinal flexion in healthy adolescents (10-15 years).
    • To correlate spinal movement ranges with sex, age, height, and weight.
    • To provide a baseline for diagnosing spinal mobility limitations in children.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurements of spinal movement in two planes: anterior and lateral flexion.
    • Utilized a simple tape measure for quick and accessible data collection.

  • Recorded data from 390 healthy children aged 10 to 15 years.

    • Main Results:

    • Established normative data for adolescent spinal flexion.
    • Analysis correlated spinal movement with demographic factors.
    • Results provide a reference for pediatric spinal assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Normal ranges for adolescent spinal flexion were defined.
    • Understanding these ranges aids in the early detection of pediatric spinal disorders.
    • This study offers a practical tool for assessing spinal health in children.
