The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of complex treatment of grade I scoliosis in children on an inclined plane. Material and methods. Throughout 2021, 42 children with degree I scoliosis aged from 8 to 13 years old (average age 10.5 years) were under observation. All patients with degree I scoliotic disease were prescribed complex treatment, which included personalized kinesitherapy on an inclined plane (Evminov's board), massage, electrical stimulation of the back muscles, and cholecalciferol intake (if indicated). Two groups of patients were identified: Group I – children with grade I scoliosis before treatment (42 persons) and Group II – children with grade I scoliosis in the process of treatment (37 persons). Re-examination was carried out 4-5 months after the start of the course. Results. 45.2 % of children in Group I had complaints of cerebroasthenic nature, which remained in only 12 % of patients in Group II. No clinical signs of hypocalcemia were revealed in the examined children during the initial and repeated laboratory examination. When analyzing the indicators of ultrasound densitometry, 14.3 % of children in Group I had initial signs of osteopenia (Z-Score); 25-hydroxycalciferol was at the lower limit of the normative values in children before the start of treatment. Regression of scoliosis was noted in 80.9 % of children of Group II, according to X-ray data, in 3 patients of this group there was a stable clinical and instrumental picture. Conclusions. The application of an inclined plane for children in the treatment of degree I scoliosis gives a positive result – regression of the spinal deformity. The results indicate the need to develop medical and social programs for the prevention and treatment of degree I scoliotic deformity of the spine in children in general educational institutions at physical education lessons. Key words: children, degree 1 scoliosis, inclined plane, kinesitherapy, radiography, densitometry.

The topicality of the problem under research is due to the changes in educational systems (from elementary to higher) in Ukraine and throughout the world caused by COVID-19. The authors believe digital technologies that allow keeping in contact under COVID-19 while studying or working should be examined. The article determines which groups of the population use these technologies and the consequences it has. The article aims to reveal the essence of initiatives of international organizations on the educational institutions in the world and Ukraine during the COVID-19 period. The aim also involves highlighting and analyzing the quality of education and ensuring continuous updating of its content based on the latest technological advances, including innovative methods in the educational process during COVID-19. A main set of methods was as follows: 1) analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization to study scientific literature, legislative and regulatory documents; 2) historical and pedagogical analysis to determine the features of the open education development. The questionnaire was adapted to ensure the statistical accuracy and relevance of the data obtained from Google Forms, a web service with limited access to the electronic questionnaire (only by link). The data obtained show the following: the regional affiliation and profiles of educational institutions; the experience of the teaching staff in using distance learning technologies in the education process; assessment of the prospects for distance learning implementation in the Ukrainian educational system; readiness to master distance learning technologies. The empirical data obtained were analyzed and organized by the electronic survey with Google Forms web service with limited access to the form. The significance of the article is to provide a holistic view of online teaching and learning activities under lockdown to eliminate academic disorders and ensure the resumption of educational activities and discourses as a normal process.

The literature has a lot of descriptions of the spontaneous disappearance of herniated discs. This article presents a clinical case of conservative treatment of sequestered disc herniation applying a complex of drug treatment and kinesitherapy. After 5 months a positive trend was observed against the background of conservative treatment. A year later, there was a lack of clinical symptoms and, according to MRI, and positive dynamics in the form of a decrease in the caudal sequestration of L5-S1 to symmetrical circular protrusion (hollow capsule effect). Key Words: sequestered disc herniation, drug treatment, kinesitherapy, MRI.
