Abstract

The human body has become significantly exposed to direct contact with machines or to deformities and deviations due to scientific and technological advancements. Since childhood is a critical stage with rapid growth changes, children are more susceptible to various deviations, most of which are initially functional and can be corrected through different exercises based on the type of deviation or deformity. It is known that girls are more prone to deviations in the pelvic region compared to boys due to the wider and broader shape of their pelvis. Therefore, the researchers prepared exercises to enhance muscular balance to correct forward pelvic rotation. The exercises included strengthening exercises for weak muscles and flexibility and stretching exercises for strong muscles in order to restore muscular balance to the pelvic support muscles and correct postural abnormalities. The researchers developed 36 training units, with three units per week, conducted every other day. The experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was used, and the research community consisted of a group of girls from several elementary schools in Kut, totaling 98 girls, with a sample size of 5 girls suffering from forward pelvic rotation. The study concluded that muscular balance exercises had a positive effect on developing muscle strength and increasing the range of motion. Additionally, these exercises helped eliminate compensatory postural deviations and deformities. This study is important for those interested in postural deviations, as it provides scientific solutions for correcting acquired functional deviations.
