Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between antero-posterior alignment of the trunk and strength of the muscles which flex and extend the trunk. Two hundred and ten elementary-school girls were given abdominal and back-extensor strength tests; postural photographs were evaluated to determine antero-posterior alignment. The results showed significant relationships between trunk strength and alignment. A low but definite relationship exists between back-extensor strength and alignment.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
