Abstract
Objective. To study the features of sagittal posture formation and the structure of postural disorders in children and adolescents with due account for gender and age basing on data of computer optical topography (СOMOT).
Material and Methods. Results of posture screening in children and adolescents using СOMOT method were incorporated into the clinical database including more than 33,000 patients with approximately uniform distribution by age. The study was carried out in 13 age groups generated from this database and including boy and girls aged 5-17 years.
Results. The age changes in the structure of sagittal postural disorders significantly differ between boys and girls and strictly correspond to age changes in mean heights of the lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis, and in the index of their balance. Postural features in five-aged children have minimum gender differences with a prevalence of kyphosed postures, and later differences accrue with a trend towards kyphosis in boys and towards lordosis in girls, achieving maximum by the age of 17 years.
Conclusion. The study allowed to reveal objective quantitative picture of the posture formation in children and adolescents, as well as demonstrated the unique capabilities of optical topography for population studies of the posture status. Hir. Pozvonoc. 2012;(2):50-62.
