Question

Match the postural deformities listed in List-I with their corrective measures listed in List-II.

List-I	(Postural Deformities)	List-II	(Corrective Measures)
A	Knock Knees	(I)	Walking on inner edge of feet
B	Round Shoulders	(II)	Horse Riding
C	Kyphosis	(III)	Wall stretch, Pull Ups
D	Bow Legs	(IV)	Swimming, Gym ball exercises

• A. (A)- (I), (B)- (III), (C)- (IV), (D)- (II)
• B. (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• C. (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• D. (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Pairing each skeletal deviation with its therapeutic intervention:

1. Genu Valgum (Knock Knees): Corrective exercises like walking with weight on the medial foot border to promote postural alignment are beneficial, corresponding to (I).
2. Kyphosis Dorsalis (Round Shoulders): Strengthening of posterior muscle groups in the back and shoulders, achieved through activities such as wall extensions and assisted ascents, offers correction, aligned with (III).
3. Dorsal Kyphosis: Management of an exaggerated thoracic curvature can be addressed through stretching routines including aquatic therapy and exercises using a stability ball, thus matched with (IV).
4. Genu Varum (Bow Legs): Therapeutic activities such as equestrianism, which fortify the adductor musculature and enhance limb congruence, are appropriate, correlating with (II).

The resultant correspondence is: (A)- (I), (B)- (III), (C)- (IV), (D)- (II).
