title: Preventive physiotherapy in schools.
abstract: Discussion of preventive physiotherapy in schools should cover many issues-nearly all specialist fields. These should include anthropometry and ergonomics in relation to furniture design (Oxford, 1971), and in relation to the prevention of postural defects. Consideration of postural defects should also cover screening of ten to eleven year old girls for early detection of scoliosis. Asthma and other chest conditions, as well as general orthopaedic conditions, should also be included.
