“…This may be due to the lack of adequately developed sensory integration capabilities (especially in the processing of vestibular and visual experiences). This process is still developing in children [21]. our study also revealed that 7-8-year-olds had quite a hard time balancing their bodies.…”

Introduction. School age is a very important and intense period in children's development. The central nervous system has an enormous absorptivity of sensory impressions. in the recent decade, an increased number of diagnoses of sensory disorders has been noticed in children in Poland. Alvin noted that musical compositions provided a good source of support for a child to acquire both auditory and tactile sensory experiences. The main aim of the study was to compare the level of sensory integration in children from music classes and their peers from general classes. Methods. Two groups of children participated in the study: group M, 14 boys and 11 girls attending second classes in music schools, and group G, 16 boys and 11 girls attending general classes. Both groups were subjected to a clinical trial by Przyrowski and the Southern California Test according to Ayres. in addition, the parents of the examined children were asked to complete the Sensorimotor Child development Questionnaire. Results. The process of sensory integration took place correctly in both groups of children. The results suggest that children in music classes are better at bilateral motor coordination, finger identification, and finger-thumb test (average results above the norm). Children in general classes were more able to maintain static balance with closed as well as open eyes than their musical peers. Conclusions. Music education positively influences the process of sensory integration in children. it can be a good source of a child's brain stimulation.

“…It has been proven that patients with idiopathic scoliosis have poorer posture stability control compared to healthy individuals, and left-sided scoliosis leads to poorer stabilometric parameters in children [26,27]. In the study by Walicka-Cupryś et al, it has been established that increased posterior torso tilt and increased anterior pelvic tilt result in an abnormal load on the anterior parts of the feet, the left feet in particular, and poorer stabilometric parameters including sagittal-plane deviation [28]. In our study, we assumed increased lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis to be the exclusion criteria, to eliminate the influence of those factors on our results.…”

Background and Objectives: Balance is the ability of an organism to maintain its position in space. Balance disorders in children can lead to injuries and limited physical activity. Balance maintenance changes throughout puberty as well as in response to external factors. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of anthropometric parameters on balance in children aged 10 to 13 years. Materials and Methods: 308 children were accessed to eligibility to participate in the study. After considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria the study included 223 participants (123 boys and 100 girls) aged 10 to 13 from elementary schools in Szczecin. The stabilometry of examineted children was performed using the SIGMA balance platform. Results: It was shown that the balance parameters in children aged 10 to 13 worsen with increasing body mass and height, and do not correlate with age. Conclusions: Rapid diagnosis and identification of postural disorders in children make it possible to start targeted physical exercises and to make the therapeutic process more effective and complex. Future research is needed to obtain more data and draw conclusions crucial for physiotherapy practice.

“…Partly similar results were reported by Walicka-Cupryś et al . These authors examined children with genu valgum and found that the defect was most common in overweight children (28.6%), followed by children with normal weight (14.7%), and it was least frequent in underweight subjects (10.7 %) 25…”

“…These define points with reference to which the device specifies the positions of pointer markers. By applying the pointer to the characteristic anatomical locations on the body and by activating the device it is possible to visualise the relevant points on the screen and to create a three-dimensional image of the body posture 25 26…”

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of abnormalities in selected parameters measured in the trunk area.DesignCross-sectional studies.SettingThe research was conducted in a primary school in the Trzebownisko Municipality, a rural area in south-eastern Poland.ParticipantsA group of 464 children, ranging in age from 6 to 16 years (234 boys and 230 girls), was recruited to participate in the study.Outcome measuresThe examination of their body postures was conducted with the use of the Zebris system. Body mass was determined using a body mass analyser Tanita MC-780 MA. BMI was calculated based on the acquired data.ResultsIt was noticed that the children with overweight and obesity tended to have an incorrect position of the shoulders and pelvis in comparison to children with normal body weight. It was found that greater body mass (higher BMI) coincided with a larger distance of the scapulae from the frontal plane (p=0.009).ConclusionsIncrease in children’s BMI produces adverse effects in the position of the shoulder blades, reflected by their greater distance from the frontal plane. Increase in BMI is not significantly related to the position of the shoulder joints or pelvis; however, the subjects with overweight or obesity presented a greater difference in the position of the shoulder joints and pelvis.
