Postural Education Programmes with School Children: A Scoping Review
Spinal deformities and back pain are growing problems in childhood and adolescence, due to unhealthy habits. This study undertook a scoping review to identify scientific studies with children and adolescents, focusing on the methodologies used, implementation of key factors and gaps, and results of postural education programmes to promote sustainable healthy habits. The methodological tool PRISMA-ScR was used. Five online databases were used to identify papers published since 2013. Eligibility criteria were defined, and the search strategies were drafted. A total of 86 publications were initially identified; after screening and applying eligibility criteria, 11 papers were included in this study for detailed analysis. The postural education programmes in these papers mainly focused on adolescents’ postures and postural learning acquisition, using different teaching methodologies; only one study was conducted with children between 5 and 6 years old enrolled in preschool. Follow-up studies revealed inconsistent results. However, developing and measuring the effectiveness of young children’s postural education programmes, to enhance experiences of movement variability and strategies for postural control in playful activities, is of great relevance for children’s healthy development, and can also have positive impacts on environmental and social sustainability by promoting healthy and conscious lifestyles.
