Age, body mass index, and modern technological influences predisposed to high prevalence of postural deviations such as forward head posture and thoracic hyperkyphosis, and rounded shoulders among school-aged children. The comprehensive integration of developmental and biomechanical perspectives on these adaptations is limited Upper-body postural adaptations reflect a complex interplay between developmental growth and biomechanical loading. Regular posture assessment in schools and clinical settings is crucial for early detection and culturally tailored prevention. Future longitudinal and cross-cultural studies are essential to establish normative postural values and clarify causal pathways across populations
