Abstract
Interest in postural deformities and spinal curve has been dating from ancient times. Hippocrates knew this problem and applied treatment for scoliosis. Today we find information about the term “scoliosis” that was first used by Galen in the far I - II century AD (131-201) in “De motto maerculorum” (Bille, F., at all 2001). Over the years, orthopedic doctors have studied and noted the high frequency of spinal curvature. Names like Daemeron K., Sorensos H., Drumond D., Stagnara P., Shulthess, Holgar Shoerman, Mau have studied deeper problem. (Karaneshev, G. Chernogorova, S. Tsankova, D., 1982) Multiple factors affecting posture are psychological, kinesiological, biomechanical and physiological ones. This complexity determines differences on the definition, diagnosis and methods of treatment of various postural disorders. The study of the sources makes it possible to introduce the Bulgarian practice established and widely used in international classifications and research systems and cradle. It is necessary to refine and improve the system for the evaluation of the posture.
