| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Questionnaires and physical measurements were administered to children aged 4-15 years. In addition, motor dexterity was quantified using an assessment used for children with developmental coordination disorder. The results suggest a significant effect of reduced spinal mobility on motor clumsiness. We also analysed low back pain (LBP) separately for LBP during anteflexion and postflexion (LBPAF and LBPPF, respectively). LBPAF occurs from the age of 10 with a prevalence of about 6% and was thought to be caused by spinal mobility, reduced posterior thigh muscle flexibility, increased anterior thigh muscle flexibility and increased time spent playing sport. LBPPF occurs from the age of 7 with a prevalence of around 12% and was thought to be caused by previous LBP, reduced spinal mobility, reduced posterior thigh muscle flexibility and increased anterior thigh muscle flexibility. Motor clumsiness did not appear to be a cause of LBPAF and LBPPF.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
運動が不器用な子どもの身体機能の特徴は、各研究で結果が異なっていた。また、腰痛との繋がりを調べた研究はなかった。本研究において、子どもの運動が不器用なことへの脊柱の可動性低下の影響が推察された。また前・後屈時腰痛への影響因子が明らかとなり、運動が不器用なことの影響はないと思われた。
本研究の成果は、子どもの運動機能改善や治療に関わる理学療法士やトレーナーなどに有用な情報となる。本研究で明らかになってきた影響因子に対して改善のアプローチを行うことで運動が不器用な子どもや前・後屈時腰痛がある子どもの改善と予防が期待でき、今後リハビリテーション分野、教育分野において多大な貢献が可能であると考えている。
