Abstract

Objective. To study gender and age characteristics of posture formation in the horizontal plane and structure of postural disorders in children and adolescents basing on computer optical topography (СOMOT) data.

Material and Methods. Results of the СOMOT screening among children and adolescents formed a clinical database of more than 33,000 patients approximately evenly distributed through age. The study included 13 age groups of boys and girls aged from 5 to 17 years.

Results. The structure of postural disorders in the horizontal plane and its age dynamic without regard to the direction of the trunk twisting are sufficiently similar in boys and girls. Taking into account the direction of the trunk twisting, the age dynamics of posture disorder structure has significant gender differences due to the phenomenon of alteration in the prevailing direction of the trunk twisting in girls firstly revealed in this study.

Conclusion. The study allowed revealing of objective quantitative picture of the posture formation in children and adolescents in the horizontal plane and demonstrated the unique capabilities of optical topography for population studies of the postural status.
