The Role of Postural Training and Ergonomic Interventions in Enhancing School Children’s Posture: A Narrative Review

Abstract Poor posture among school-aged children has emerged as a significant public health concern due to increasing sedentary lifestyles, prolonged use of digital devices, inadequate physical activity, and poorly designed school environments. Postural abnormalities such as forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and spinal misalignment are increasingly reported in children and adolescents, potentially contributing to musculoskeletal pain, reduced functional performance, and long-term orthopedic complications. This narrative review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of postural training and ergonomic interventions in improving posture among school children aged 6–18 years. Relevant literature was reviewed from scientific databases including PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords related to posture correction, school ergonomics, and musculoskeletal health in children. Evidence suggests that postural training interventions, including strengthening exercises, stretching, and postural awareness programs, significantly improve muscular balance and alignment. Ergonomic interventions such as adjustable classroom furniture, optimized desk setup, school bag weight management, and screen positioning also demonstrate positive outcomes in reducing postural strain. Combined intervention models integrating exercise with ergonomic education appear to provide the most effective and sustainable improvements. Early identification and intervention are essential in preventing progression of postural dysfunction and promoting lifelong musculoskeletal health. Schools, parents, physiotherapists, and policymakers play crucial roles in implementing preventive strategies.
