Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2008, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
[b]Background. [/b]The aim of the study was to evaluate changes of physiological spine curvatures among children aged 8-11. Angles of inclination of the spine section of were measured in relation to the vertical axis.[b]Material and methods. [/b]The study was carried out among pupils aged 8-11. 356 pupils with no postural defects revealed evaluation were selected for the analysis. The subjects' body posture was tested by a computerised Moiré's technique, considering angles of inclination of the section of spine towards the plumb line were analyzed. Artihmetic averages and standard deviation of angeles α, ß, ý were estimated for different age groups and genders.[b]Results. [/b]Results of this study revealed that physiological curvatures of spine among children change in different age groups. Angeles α, ß, ý change which means that physiological curvatures of spine can change during the development.[b]Conclusions. [/b]Both the method of body posture evaluation and the analysis manner can be used for further observations of the development of physiological spine curvatures. In evaluation of the physiological curvatures it is necessary to take into account the height of the body investigated, not only their age and gender.
