Abstract
The aim of work. The study addressed the evaluation of strength abilities of children and youth with lowdegree scoliosis compared to their peers with correct body posture.Material amd metods. Investigations were carried out in the years 1998 - 1999 and covered 1527 rural girls and boys aged 10-19 years. Body posture was assessed with orthopedic examinations that enabled separating a group of girls and boys with correct body posture and a group of children with functional scoliosis. The strength abilities of the subjects was evaluated with the Eurofit test.Results. In the case of girls, better results of the explosive strength and trunk strength tests were obtained by the girls with scoliosis, whereas in the test of the static strength - by their peers with correct body posture. As for the boys, in the tests of static and explosive strength the predominance of subjects with scoliosis occurred only at the youngest age categories (10-12 years), whereas in the trunk strength test - in the subjects aged from 15 to 18 years. The results recorded were marked on centile charts elaborated for the children of the Lubelskie Province. Most of the strength capacity results of the children with functional scoliosis appeared to oscillate between 25 and 75 centile.
