Question

Match the Corrective Measures listed in List-I with their Postural Deformities listed in List-II:

List-I (Corrective Measure)	List-II (Postural Deformities)
(A) Walking on inner edge of feet	(I) Knock-knee
(B) Horse-riding	(II) Scoliosis
(C) Wall Stretch, Pull ups	(III) Round shoulder
(D) Trikonasana	(IV) Bow-legs

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem of matching the corrective measures to their respective postural deformities, follow these steps:

1. Understand each corrective measure and the postural deformity it addresses: 

• (A) Walking on inner edge of feet: This is typically used to correct Knock-knee (List-II: I).
• (B) Horse-riding: This activity strengthens the muscles and improves posture, often related to fixing Round shoulder (List-II: III).
• (C) Wall Stretch, Pull ups: These exercises are suitable for correcting Scoliosis (List-II: II) by stretching and strengthening the muscles alongside the spine.
• (D) Trikonasana: A yoga posture that targets leg alignment, useful for correcting Bow-legs (List-II: IV).

2. Match each corrective measure from List-I with the corresponding deformity in List-II:

• (A)-(I): Walking on inner edge of feet - Knock-knee
• (B)-(III): Horse-riding - Round shoulder
• (C)-(II): Wall Stretch, Pull ups - Scoliosis
• (D)-(IV): Trikonasana - Bow-legs

Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV).

Answer 2

The correct matches for the given activities and their associated conditions are as follows:

• Walking on inner edge of feet – Knock-knee: This condition occurs when the knees angle inward, causing the feet to touch each other while standing or walking. Walking on the inner edge of the feet is often associated with this condition.
• Horse-riding – Round shoulder: Horse-riding can lead to the development of rounded shoulders, a condition where the shoulders hunch forward, often due to poor posture or prolonged sitting in a bent position during riding.
• Wall Stretch/Pull-ups – Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. Wall stretches and pull-ups are exercises that may help improve posture and spinal alignment, which can assist in managing scoliosis.
• Trikonasana – Bow-legs: Trikonasana, a yoga pose, can help in correcting the alignment of the legs. Bow-legs is a condition where the legs curve outward at the knees, and certain stretches like Trikonasana can help improve leg alignment.

In conclusion, these matches correctly associate specific activities with physical conditions that can either contribute to or help in managing these postural issues.
