Abstract

Nahid Sadeghi and Zahra Nobakht Ramezani

Technological advances and their impacts on human life have led to sedentary. Since the move is essential to life, the lack of move in any age is associated with complications such as muscle weakness, physical abnormalities, obesity and mental disorders with mutual interactions. Given the motor deficiency in girls, 324 female students were randomly selected of the first and second year students. Fourteen abnormalities were evaluated from front, back and side views using the checkered board, padscope and New York test. Beck Depression Inventory was used to assess the level of depression. According to the results, all students had at least two abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities were lumbar lordosis (73.4%) and uneven shoulder (66.8%). The less frequent abnormality was pelvic obliquity (3.7%). In addition, 71% of students had no depression.
