[Screening of scoliosis in a school population of 8 to 12 years in the province of Granada (Spain)]. / Cribado de la escoliosis en una población escolar de 8 a 12 años de la provincia de Granada.

The scoliosis is a disease that affects the three-dimensional shape of the spine, which may occur at any stage of life but mainly arises from 10 years of age, and it is everyone's job (doctors, physiotherapists and teachers) responsible for managing the schoolchild to detect this spinal deformity. Therefore, we included a number of objectives in our study; first to detect the spinal disorder (scoliosis) in the school population from 8 to 12 years of Granada province; to establish the relationships between age groups and gender in people with scoliosis in the province of Granada; and finally to determine whether the occurrence of such changes have a greater impact on certain geographical areas in Granada province. Thus, this is a descriptive and cross-sectional study of a school population (n=2,956) in the province of Granada analyzed the positive clinical signs using the Adams Test on individuals with scoliosis. Of the 16 % (n=472) of schoolchildren who had scoliosis, 57.6 % (n=272) were male. The distribution of children from 8 to 12 years is fairly homogeneous with no differences seen (p=0.62) and highlight areas of higher incidence of scoliosis in zone 5 (Alpujarra-Valle of Lecrín). We conclude that there are no significant differences in scoliosis as regards age group (8 to 12 years), but there is an increasing trend towards the male gender. Differences can also be observed in the seven areas of study defined by work, environmental, genetic and consanguinity factors.

La escoliosis es una enfermedad que altera la columna vertebral de forma tridimensional; puede producirse en cualquier etapa de la vida, aunque la mayoría de las veces surge a partir de los 10 años de edad. Es tarea de los estamentos encargados cuidar de los escolares (médicos, fisioterapeutas y docentes) detectar esta deformidad del raquis. Son varios los objetivos planteados en este estudio. En primer lugar, detectar la alteración raquídea (escoliosis) en la población escolar de 8 a 12 años de la provincia de Granada; en segundo, establecer las relaciones entre los grupos de edad y sexo en la población con escoliosis de la provincia de Granada y, por último, determinar si la aparición de dicha alteración tiene mayor incidencia en determinadas zonas geográficas de Granada y su provincia. Por tanto, se realiza un estudio de carácter descriptivo y transversal de la población escolar (n=2.956) de la provincia de Granada analizándose las manifestaciones clínicas positivas mediante el método del test de Adams de los individuos con escoliosis. Un 16 % (n=472) de escolares presentó escoliosis, de los cuales el 57,6 % (n=272) eran varones; la distribución de niños y niñas de 8 a 12 años es bastante homogénea y no se aprecian diferencias significativas (p=0,62). Por zonas destaca una mayor incidencia de escoliosis en la zona 5 (Alpujarra-Valle de Lecrín). Se llega a la conclusión de que en la escoliosis no se aprecian diferencias significativas en función de los grupos de edad (8 a 12 años), que existe una tendencia mayor hacia el sexo varón y que se aprecian diferencias en cuanto a las siete zonas de estudio definidas por componentes laborales, ambientales, genéticos y de consanguinidad (AU)

Influencia de la tipología del pie en la actividad físico deportiva / It influences of Tipología of the Foot in the Sport Activity Physique

El trabajo que a continuación se presenta discurre en Granada capital y tiene como objetivos, determinar las distintas tipologías de pie (cavo y plano) en las poblaciones, analizar y comparar los resultados obtenidos en la muestra, así como observar la influencia que tienen dichas patologías en la práctica físico-deportiva y establecer que tipo de pie (plano o cavo) es más apto para la práctica deportiva. El material que se utiliza para dicho estudio es: un podógrafo, encuesta historial, balanza y tallímetro. Las conclusiones que extraemos de dicho trabajo son: Por sexos no hay grandes diferencias entre la distribución de los distintos tipos de pie. En nuestra población se detecta una mayor presencia de sujetos con pie normal, siendo el siguiente el pie cavo y por ultimo el pie plano. Los resultados de la encuesta son similares entre ambos sexos. La única diferencia importante es que las mujeres practican menos deporte que los hombres. Se ha detectado que entre los individuos con pie cavo se presente un menor nivel de actividad físico deportiva. Los sujetos con pie cavo a diferencia de los de pie plano son mas propensos a lesionarse (esguinces, etc.)

The work that next shows up he/she reflects in capital Granada and he/she has as objectives, to determine the different foot (High foot arch and plan) tipologías in the populations, to analyze and to compare the results obtained in the sample, as well as to observe the influence that you/they have this pathologies in the physical-sport practice and to establish that foot (plan or high foot arch) type is more capable for the sport practice. The material that is used for this study is: a podógrafo, interviews record, scale and tallímetro. The conclusions that we extract of this work are: For sexes there are not big differences among the distribution of the different foot types. In our population a bigger presence is detected of subject with normal foot, being the following one the foot high foot arch and for I finish the flat foot. The results of the survey are similar between both sexes. The important only difference is that the women practice less sport than the men. It has been detected that among the individuals with foot high foot arch he/she shows up a smaller sport physical activity level. Those subject with foot high foot arch contrary to those of flat foot they are but prone to be injured (sprains)
