Relationship of Backpack Weight Towards Risk Factor for Scoliosis Among Primary School Children in Pahang, Malaysia
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of backpack weight and risk factor for scoliosis in primary school children. The risk factors are identified by age, gender, body mass index and the weight of the backpack. A total of 260 children aged from 7 to 12 years old participated in this study. The test was performed by measuring the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) on Adam Forward Bending Test (AFBT) using a scoliometer. ATR readings at 5 ° and above is deemed to be positive. The findings showed that a significant of moderately correlation was found on risk factor of age (r = 0.538), gender (r = 0.580), and backpack weight (r = 0.552) which indicates that age, gender and backpack weight may contribute to risk factor of scoliosis.
