Early diagnosis of junior school age children’s posture disorders

Abstract

Purpose: to describe specificities of early diagnosis method for junior school age children's posture disorders. Material: in pedagogic experiment 156 junior school age children (boys and girls of 7-10 years' age) participated. All children had no experience of training in sport circles. For determination of uniformity of the tested we fulfilled experts' examination for presence or absence of external signs of posture disorders in frontal plane. The children's examination was conducted by qualified specialists at the beginning and at the end of experiment. For determination of early signs of muscular asymmetry in torso right and left sides of the tested children we used methodic, based on registration of tonic vibration reflex. Results: the pupils' examination permitted to form a group of 108 persons, who did not have external signs of posture disorders. It was proved that it would be purposeful to take prophylaxis measures at very early stages of imbalance in muscular system's work. Traditional approach in the form of prophylaxis examination can not give confident information about initial stage of imbalance in muscular system's work in child's organism. Conclusions: it was found that imbalance of motor nervous centers reflex excitability on both sides of backbone (if no purposeful prophylaxis measures are taken) can result in muscular tonus asymmetry on right and left sides of torso in lumbar spine area.

“…All these reduce indicators of schoolchildren's general health level. That is why it is necessary to support by all means and develop schoolchildren's motor fitness (Ivashchenko, & Yermakova, 2015a, 2015bBliznevsky et al, 2016;Pomeshchikova et al, 2016). It should be noted that in every age period posture has its own peculiarities.…”

“…It was proved that prophylaxis measures are purposeful only at early stages of in work of muscular system. Traditional approach in the form of prophylaxis examination can not give confident information about initial stages of child organism's muscular work imbalance (Razumeiko, 2015b). It is important to substantiate selection of adequate tests (Khudolii, Iermakov, & Prusik, 2015;Khudolii, Iermakov, & Ananchenko, 2015) and pedagogic control over schoolchildren's motor qualities (Ivashchenko, Yermakova, Cieslicka, & Muszkieta, 2015;Ivashchenko, Yermakova, Cieślicka, & Śukowska, 2015;Ivashchenko et al, 2016).…”

Fitness – aerobic training of 15 – 17 years´ age girl students, who have significant risk of deviations in backbone functional state

“…Diagnostic of torso showed that 63% of schoolchildren have disorders. It witnesses about early symptoms of posture abnormalities (Kupreenko, 2015; Nosko, Razumeyko, Iermakov & Yermakova, 2016; Razumeiko, 2015).…”
