Abstract

Postural balance is part of human health and quality of life, but does not receive the necessary attention, because being in an appropriate posture is simple, but spending a lot of time in the same posture or with the process of aging and weakening of bones this physical attitude presents its drawbacks. This research aims to evaluate the postural condition of a group of students from UTFPR/PG. This study was inspired by observing the classes of anatomy and human physiology in the contentbone and muscle system where many students presented poor posture sitting in the school portfolio. This research is of an applied nature, with a qualiquantitative approach. The sample was intentional non-probabilistic formed by individuals of both sexes from the student body of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, from the Ponta Grossa campus. When invited to participate in the research and sign the consent form, all those involved were informed about the research and its demands. The results showed that 51.72% of the students presented postural deviation Scoliosis, 44.83% of the students presented an excellent postural condition and 3.45% of the students presented lordosis. This study suggested that ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal pain are part of the university's daily life and many students are unaware that they have some postural deviation.
