The objective of the study was analysis of the relationship between body posture and balance reactions in girls and boys aged 12-15 years. The study covered 503 girls and boys aged 12-15 attending randomly selected Primary School, and Junior High School in Poland. Body posture was examined by means of spatial photogrammetry using the projection moire effect. Postural reations were tested on an R50300 Cosmogamma platform by Emildue. In the saggital plane, 297 (59.05%) correct postures and 206 (40.95%) postural defects were observed. In the frontal plane, there were only 3 (0.60%) correct postures, 238 (47.32%) scoliotic postures, 262 (52.09%) residual scoliosis, and 46 (9.15%) idiopathic scoliosis >10°. A significant relationship was observed between anterior-posterior speed with closed eyes and lateral curvature of the spine, both with defects in the saggital plane and without these defects (p=0.044). Lateral curvatures of the spine and defects in the saggital plane are accompanied by a clear increase in the anterior-posterior speed. A significant relationship was found between the mean loading point Y with open eyes and lateral curvature of the spine, both with postural defects and without these defects (p=0.043). This parameter was the highest among the defects in the saggital plane, without lateral curvature of the spine. A significant relationship was also observed between the mean sway X (p=0.009) and the mean sway Y in the test with eyes open (p=0.046), and defects in the saggital plane, both with lateral curvature of the spine and without these defects.

Objective: Teenage is the time of shaping health behavior and preventing postural defects and improving respiratory fitness. The teenagers possess insufficient knowledge of their respiratory system. Postural defects are commonly seen among teenagers due to lack of physical activity and poor postural habits which can lead to non-harmonious development of organs and affect respiratory system as well. For efficient respiratory function, moderate-intensity exercises with posture correction would be useful. There is a paucity of literature showing the effect of posture correction and moderate-intensity exercises on respiratory system in teenagers, hence, this study would be helpful to analyze the same. The objectives of the study were to find out the effect of posture correction exercise on respiratory system in teenagers and to find out the effect of moderate-intensity exercises on respiratory system in teenagers. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in Karad area. The subjects were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 35 subjects were participated in this study. Prior consent and assent form was taken. The aim and procedure were explained to the subjects in their preferred language before data collection. Pre- and post-assessment was done by 6 min walk test for respiratory function and flexicurve was measured using flexible ruler to recognize spinal postural defect. Peak flow meter was used to measure lung function. Results: In a conducted study, 6 min walk test, peak flow meter, and flexicurve showed statistically significant difference between pre- and post-treatment values. Conclusion: On the basis of the result of the study, it can be concluded that posture correction and moderate- intensity exercises help in improving respiratory function in teenagers.

Introduction: Deficient postural control is one of the key problems in cerebral palsy (CP). Little, however, is known about the specific nature of postural problems of children with CP, nor of the relation between abnormal posture and dysfunction of the visual system.Aim of the study: To provide additional information on the association of abnormalities in postural control and visual dysfunction of the anterior or posterior part of the visual system.Methods: Data resulting from ophthalmologic, orthoptic, neurological, neuro-radiological, and ethological investigations of more than 313 neurologically impaired children were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Abnormal postural control related to ocular and ocular motor disorders consisted of anomalous head control and subsequent abnormal head posture and torticollis. The abnormal postural control related to retrochiasmatical damage of the visual system consisted of a torticollis combined with adjustment of the upper part of the body, as if at the same time adapting to a combination of defects and optimizing residual visual functions.Conclusion: Visual dysfunctions play a distinct role in the postural control of children with CP.

Abstract Postural defects including scoliotic posture constitute one of the most frequently observed health problems in school-aged children. The incidence of this multifactorial condition has been observed to increase recently. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of scoliotic posture in primary and secondary school students living in a large city. The sample consisted of 1,325 boys and 1,355 girls, aged 6 to 18, living in the city of Poznań. Their postures were assessed through skilled visual inspection method based on the criteria delineated by Wiktor Dega. Additionally, measurements of scoliotic deformities were taken using the Bunnell’s scoliometer. It was found that the incidence of scoliosis assessed on the basis of Dega’s postural defect chart amounted in total to 14.6% in boys and 17% in girls. No substantial differences between boys and girls in particular age categories were found. Scoliometer examination appeared to be a more accurate method for screening scoliosis and revealed higher incidence of this condition in total and both in boys and girls as compared to the visual screening method. The contractures which may lead to scoliotic posture appeared most frequently in the knee joints, both in boys and in girls. The incidence of lateral spinal curvatures was related to age and increased with age. Scoliometer proved to be a more effective tool in detecting lateral spinal curvatures and should be more widely used in school healthcare.

Introduction. Postural defects are a real challenge for the contemporary world. Scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis are diseases of the spine, with various evolutions and multiple changes of the other components of the thorax (shoulders, shoulder blades, ribs), as well as of the intrathoracic and even abdominal organs. Material and method. This paper presents a study on the need to use a smart orthosis in the prevention of postural defects, a study that is the preamble to the physical realization of such an orthosis. The smart orthosis will use inertial sensors capable of calculating orientation angles in a portable monitoring system that will calculate and represent the curvature of the spine. It is hoped that finding a non-invasive solution to identify the shape of the human back can help reduce the time required for medical rehabilitation sessions or can prevent possible postural defects. Results and discussions. In this study, the existing orthoses on the market that could fall into the category of rehabilitation devices used in the prevention of postural defects were evaluated and an intelligent orthosis was designed. Conclusions. At this time, the existence of an intelligent orthosis in the prevention of postural defects would lead to an improvement in health among the population. Also, this prosthesis would crown the work of physiotherapists by maintaining the results obtained. Keywords: postural defects, smart orthosis, prevention, rehabilitation, health improvement,

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric profile, level of physical activity, anxiety level, and posture of graduate students in the health field. This is a cross-sectional study involving 100 college students from health courses at a university in the western state of São Paulo. Weight, height, waist circumference, and body mass index data were collected. We also applied the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for physical activity; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for anxiety; and the Postural Assessment Instrument for postural defects. The results of this study show that 67% of students have an average BMI of 22.12±4.84 kg/m², and 38% are regularly active. Regarding anxiety levels, the sample obtained (mean STAI E 40.6 points and STAI T 40.05) can be classified as moderate. In addition, 50% of the sample have lumbar concavity. Therefore, most health care university students displayed normal anthropometric values, were regularly active, had a moderate level of anxiety and had no postural defects.

Introduction: One of the very important indicators used in the treatment of postural defects is the relative symmetry of the lower limbs. The selection of a safe and effective therapeutic tool is not an easy task and is particularly important in children. The authors of the experiment have decided to check the effectiveness of two manual techniques, that minimally interfere with patient's tissues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of selected manual procedures: the Ackerman's second phenomenon and mobilization of the sacroiliac joint to hyperextension (Kowtun's grip) on the relative length of the lower limbs in a school-age children. Materials and methods: 70 children aged 8-12 participated in the study. All of them were diagnosed with postural abnormalities: spine defects in the sagittal plane, three-dimensional asymmetry of the torso, knee and / or foot defects and asymmetry of the length of the lower limbs. Qualification of children for a particular group with a postural defects was based on the concept of Sastre Fernandez. In each patient, the manual procedure in order to compensate the leg length, was applied once. In 28 children the applied procedure was the Ackerman's second phenomenon and in 42 it was the Kowtun's grip. The relative length of t h e l o w e r l i m b s w a s m e a s u r e d immediately before and after the manual procedure. Results: The executed experiment indicates the effectiveness of the Ackerman's second phenomenon in compensating the asymmetry of the length of the lower limbs in children with posture defects. The effect of Kovtun's mobilization is less clear. Conclusions: Manual procedure change the relative length of the lower limbs in children with postural defects. The Ackerman's second phenomenon in an effective and yet gentle and safe manual tool that can be used in children in order to compensate the relative length of the lower limbs. The effect of the Kowtun's treatment requires further research.

A má postura é um mau hábito e é de incidência mais alta em tarefas que demandem força associada ao movimento, onde os defeitos posturais têm origem no mau uso das capacidades funcionais do sistema musculoesquelético, onde entre as principais alterações posturais estão a escoliose, a hipercifose e a hiperlordose, além das lesões osteomusculares. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares e sua correlação com distúrbios posturais de cuidadores de idosos do município de Tabapuã (SP). Este estudo consiste em uma pesquisa transversal, quantitativa e sugestiva, em que foram observados cuidadores de diferentes faixas etárias e ambos os sexos; foram excluídos do estudo indivíduos com problemas neurofuncionais. Para a concretização do estudo, foram utilizados o Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares que é um instrumento identificador de distúrbios osteomusculares nas diversas regiões anatômicas e a Biofotogrametria computadorizada (posturograma) onde se obtêm, através de fotografias, as distâncias entre pontos anatômicos para determinação de assimetrias, as quais são evidenciadas por emissão de um laudo técnico, baseado nas determinadas distâncias aferidas por uma escala métrica. Com os dados comparados e estabelecidos concluímos que a maior incidência é relatada na região lombar (40%), seguida de membros inferiores (35%), relativas considerações que todos possuem relatos de dores e relatos de alteração postural de escoliose, sejam essas mesuradas por ângulo de tales, ângulo inferior da escápula e acrômio. Index of Osteomuscular Lesions and Their Co-Relationship with Posture Disorders in Care-Givers of Elderly People ABSTRACT: An incorrect posture is a bad habit, with high occurrence in tasks that demand force and movement. Posture defects originate from incorrect use of the functional capacities of the muscle-skeleton system in which the main posture changes comprise scoliosis, hyperciphosis, hyperlordosis and osteomuscular lesions. Current paper analyzes the predominance of osteomuscular symptoms and their co-relationships with posture disturbances of caregivers of elderly people in Tabapuã SP Brazil. The transversal, quantitative and suggestive research included caregivers of several age brackets and of both genders; only caregivers with neurofunctional problems were excluded from the sample. The Nordic Questionnaire of Osteomuscular Symptoms, an identifying tool for osteomuscular disorders in several anatomic regions, and computerized biophotogrammetry (posturegram), were employed. The latter obtains the distances between anatomic points by means of photographs to determine asymmetries evidenced by a technical report based on determined distances measured by a metric scale. Data showed that the highest occurrence was reported at the lumbar region (40%), followed by the lower limbs (35%). All registered pain and reports on the postural alteration of scoliosis were measured by Thales´s angle, the lower angle from the scapula to the acromion.

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system, where posture defects contribute to the appearance of multiple organ dysfunctions, are the leading symptom demonstrated by the children with psychomotor retardation. Scientific studies state different data regarding postural disorders in children of early and preschool age, which is caused by lack of a unified classification of postural disorders in the frontal plane. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop a new comprehensive classification of postural disorders in the frontal plane in infants and preschool children with psychomotor retardation depending on their causes, the classification being adapted to the possibilities of the correction-oriented physical training, by means of the analysis and classification methods. During our research, we have revealed the following: 1. The problem of postural disorders demonstrated by the children of early and preschool age occupies a leading position, but at the same time, the issues related to the diagnosing of the children suffering from psychomotor retardation alongside the determination of the etiology of disorders have not been sufficiently developed. 2. The main types of postural disorders in the children’s frontal plane are presented in the form of scoliosis, asymmetric posture being its precursor. 3. The reasons for postural disorders in children are of a diverse nature and depend on many factors; we have not revealed a unified approach to the identification of the etiology of postural disorders in the frontal plane in scholars’ studies. 4. A new complex classification is presented; it which includes five main etiological blocks of postural disorders in the frontal plane of children of early and preschool age who suffer from psychomotor retardation: biomechanical (anatomical), neurogenic-muscular, myofascial, psychosomatic and compensatory. The prospects for further research may lie in the mainstream of the search for a correlation between the cause-effect relationships of the etiology and pathogenesis of postural disorders in the frontal plane demonstrated by the children under focus according to the five above-mentioned blocks.

Introduction. In recent years a significant increase in the percentage of children with postural problems has been observed. It is necessary to focus on preventing the phenomenon and on analysis of existing postural defects. Aim. The aim of this work was to assess the potential relationship between body mass composition and body posture in school-age children. Material and Methods. 464 school-age children ranging from 6 to 16 years (234 boys and 230 girls) were qualified for the study. Body mass composition was assessed using the analyzer Tanita MC 780 MA. Assessment of body posture was performed using Zebris system. All the results were analyzed with statistical methods. The accepted level of significance was p<0.05. Results. Analyses of the disparities between the girls and the boys showed statistically significant differences in all of the body mass components and in obliquity of the pelvis/shoulder. The boys were characterized by higher contents of muscle tissue (p<0.001), bone tissue (p<0.001), fatless tissue (p<0.001), and body water (p<0.001) as well as a greater obliquity angle (p=0.018). The girls, on the other hand, were found with higher content of fatty tissue (p<0.001). The children with lower content of muscle tissue (p=0.030), fatless tissue (p=0.030), water (p=0.030), and higher content of fatty tissue measured in kg (p=0.027) were characterized by greater pelvic obliquity. Conclusion. The current study shows evidence that sex, as a strongly differentiating factor, determines body mass composition and the occurrence of suboptimal postures only in the pelvic area. Body mass composition differentiates body posture of the study group. The content of fatty tissue influences the occurrence of suboptimal postures in the scapula and pelvic area in the frontal plane. The content of muscle tissue is associated with faulty postures in the scapula and pelvic area in the frontal plane.

The article substantiates the need to assess the success of junior high school students in physical education classes. The system of pedagogical control of coordination abilities of junior schoolchildren with postural disorders is presented, which objectively reflects the health effectiveness of physical education lessons in grades 1-4 and determines the quality of the process of motor training of students with musculoskeletal pathology. Given that coordination abilities and posture are interrelated, because since the mechanism of their development involves the same morphofunctional and psychophysiological indicators of the body, and informative strength and flexibility in forming a stereotype of posture, criteria for assessing the development of coordination skills, and as well as control tests and standards for assessing the strength of the muscular corset and flexibility of the spine of primary school children with posture defects. The choice of motor tests is related to the focus of exercise on the development of coordination skills, and also takes into account the informativeness of the strength of the muscular corset and the mobility of the spine. Objective criteria for assessing the academic achievements of students with postural disorders in physical education classes: in the motivational, cognitive and activity spheres are determined. There are three levels of academic achievement of student youth: low, medium, high. In an effort to achieve complete certainty in the establishment of a particular level, qualitative characteristics have been developed that allow to objectively assess the health effects of physical education lessons for students with posture defects.

Aim. The objective of the study was to evaluate body posture, postural stability as well as body composition and to analyze the relationship between these parameters in goalkeepers of the Polish National Junior Handball Team. Basic procedures. The study covered 11 goalkeepers of the Polish National Junior Handball Team, aged 15-19. Body posture was evaluated by the Diers Formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. Postural stability was examined using the Biodex Balance System platform. The study was conducted in the Posturology Laboratory at the Institute of Physiotherapy at the Faculty of Medicine and Medical Sciences, UJK in Kielce. Results Main findings. The flattening of the thoracic kyphotic angle and lumbar lordotic angle was observed. The majority of adolescents in the study had residual scoliosis (12.36°). During the Postural Stability Test, all of them remained in Zone A (the best stability), and in the majority of cases had a tendency towards sway to the right posterior (% Time In Quadrant I). A positive correlation was found between the trunk length from vertebra C7 to the central point between the sacral dimples (r=0.6507; p=0.030) and the trunk length VP-SP from C7 to the beginning of the groove between the buttocks, and the percentage of staying in Quadrant 1 (% Time In Quadrant I), i.e. sway to the right anterior (r=0.6317; p=0.037). Conclusions. Handball is a discipline of sports discipline asymmetric in nature, which may be the cause of the occurrence of posture defects. Postural education exercises should be included in the training programme of juniors.

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the shape of the anteriorposterior spinal curvature and body composition in schoolchildren. The study included 257 children, aged 11–12. Correct spinal curvature was established in 106 (41.08%) subjects. Other types included: decreased kyphosis and correct lordosis—40 participants (15.50%), correct kyphosis and decreased lordosis—24 individuals (9.30%), increased kyphosis and correct lordosis—17 subjects (6.59%), correct kyphosis and increased lordosis—22 children (8.53%), decreased kyphosis and decreased lordosis—32 people (12.40%), decreased kyphois and increased lordosis—four of the examined subjects (1.55%) increased kyphosis and lordosis—13 people (5.04%). In addition, 134 (51.94%) demonstrated scoliotic posture and eight (3.10%) scoliosis. There were significant relationships between the shape of the anteriorposterior curvatures and body composition in schoolchildren. Those with a strong body build (predominance of mesomorphs) were generally characterised by the correct formation of these curvatures. In contrast, lean subjects (with the predominance of ectomorphic factors) were more likely to experience abnormalities. No correlations with body composition were observed in the group with scoliotic posture or scoliosis. Both in the prevention and correction of postural defects, one should gradually move away from one-sided, usually one-system, therapeutic effects. An approach that takes into account both somatic and neurophysiological factors seems appropriate. With the correct body composition and structure, shaping the habit of correct posture is much easier.

Introduction. All forms of infantile cerebral paralysis involve motor function defects. In clinical practice, the stabilometrics method is widely used due to its ability to perform detailed analyses of the mechanisms of disturbance and restoration of postural control in patients with various cerebral lesions.
Aim. The study aimed to analyze the parameters of orthostatic balance in practically healthy children and in children with motor disorders caused by infantile cerebral paralysis of various severities.
Material and methods. We examined 6- to 12-year-old children with mild and severe cerebral paralysis and impaired vertical postural control with a preserved ability to self-balance in the principal posture. Each group examined for comparison comprised 10 patients (children with infantile cerebral paralysis, and impaired vertical postural control) and 10 healthy children in the same age range. The stabilometrics method was used, and the statistical evaluation included correlation and regression analyses.
Results. The results revealed that in comparison with the healthy children, the patient group exhibited a decrease in the vertical postural stability, which manifested as pronounced deviations from the nominal values of the stabilometric parameters. However, a strong correlation between the parameters of S, LFS, and the amplitude A of the pressure center was revealed, which significantly exceeded that of the healthy children, being most pronounced in cases of severe infantile cerebral paralysis. This indicates a more ordered center of pressure trajectory and, consequently, a higher synchronization of the vertical balance management system in children with infantile cerebral paralysis compared with that in healthy children.
Conclusion. The use of correlation and regression analysis to study the vertical balance of patients provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms used by the postural control system in patients with infantile cerebral paralysis to maintain a complex multilevel structure of the musculoskeletal system in equilibrium in the process of standing still. Increased ordering of the center of pressure trajectory of statokinesiograms of children with infantile cerebral paralysis can be considered as a dynamic indicator of postural control deficiency.

Temporomandibular disease (TMD) is a general term including a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and their related structures. The painful forms of these dysfunctions have become an increasing phenomenon among dental patients. A number of scientific publications indicated the relationship between the presence of postural dysfunctions and functional disorders of the masticatory system in humans. Nevertheless, dental procedures still very rarely include comprehensive diagnostics and procedures aimed at the normalization of the locomotor system related to TMD. Scientific literature usually refers to and describes the coexistence of postural disorders in patients with TMD in the context of anatomical connections, the so-called biokinematic chains, indicating specific types of postures that correlate with different positions of the mandible and/or teeth. Objective. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of painless positioning of the mandibular head in the articular fossa on postural and functional changes in the musculoskeletal system. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted on a group of 30 randomly selected patients who reported to the Department of Propaedeutic, Physical Diagnostics and Dental Physiotherapy of the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (Poland). Before the examination, the dentists and the physiotherapist were calibrated by an examiner who had previously been calibrated and had three years of experience in the management of patients with TMD. Training of the appropriate palpation strength was performed, and then the results were discussed. In the study group, painful disorders in the temporomandibular joint with an abnormal position of the mandibular head in the articular fossa and individual posture defects were found. The patients complained of pain in the area of the TMJ, episodes of locked joints, and difficulty biting. None of them was treated for these disorders, previously rehabilitated or participated in any body posture examination. The patients were examined by an interdisciplinary team who also performed a preliminary test. The inclusion criterion for the study group was the presence of TMD symptoms in the past. Myofascial pain was diagnosed on the basis of diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD Ia and Ib). On the other hand, the displacement of the articular disc was diagnosed on the basis of the diagnostic criteria of temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD IIa)—displacement of the articular disc without reduction. At the same time, the body posture was assessed by inspection and using computer techniques while standing and during motion. The examinations were repeated after positioning the mandibular heads in the articular fossa and stabilizing the condylar process using a temporary silicone occlusal splint. Since there is no DC/TMD protocol in Polish to date, RDC/TMD was used in the study. Results. Initial pilot studies and the authors’ observations indicated that the positioning of the mandibular heads in the articular pits and stabilization of the condylar process by providing the oral cavity with a temporary, silicone occlusive splint significantly influenced the posture of the examined patients, both while standing and during locomotion. This correlation also applies to the corrective effect on the foot architecture during standing and patient gait. Conclusions. Diagnostic and therapeutic management in the course of TMD should be holistic. Nevertheless, the observed changes are often varied and largely dependent on individual posture defects, which is an important postulate for further research on a larger study group.

The article identifies the causes of deviations in the development of posture in children of primary school age and characterizes the influence of this pathology on the health and physical development of schoolchildren. The necessity of development of coordination of movements in children of 6-10 years old, as well as its role in the formation of posture, prevention and correction of its defects has been substantiated. The modern approaches to the development of the motor function of schoolchildren with postural disorders are disclosed. The specificity of the action of physical exercises for the formation of the correct motor stereotype of the posture of students is highlighted, the features of the influence of dosed muscle tensions for the prevention and correction of the posture of younger students are characterized. During primary school age it is important to form the correct posture, prevent and prevent various deformities of the spine, as well as the use of dosed muscle tension and skills to maintain physiologically correct torso position in the sagittal plane and symmetrical spine position in the front to eliminate deviations in posture development at the initial stages of the ir appearance. The degree of development and opportunities for improvement of the motor sphere of children is limited by the presence of disorders of the functional activity of sensory and physiological systems of the body, including disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which include deviations in posture development. Lag in the development of motor skills of children increases the risk of forming an incorrect motor stereotype of posture and vice versa, in children with deviations in posture development there is a complication of motor skills, insufficient development of certain muscle groups, impaired balance, coordination. There are no medical contraindications to exercise in children of primary school age with postural disorders. Formation of motor function of junior schoolchildren with posture disorders involves the use of dosed exercise for the development of musculoskeletal sensitivity, development of rational flexibility of the spine, strengthening muscle groups of the muscular corset, normalization of torso muscle tone, taking into account the type of posture disorder. The development of coordination of movements of junior schoolchildren is a necessary condition for consolidating physiologically correct tors o positions while maintaining a stable posture and movement.

Correct body posture is a balanced musculoskeletal body position; however, today many people face severe posture defects, and their body posture may be far from a normal, causing progressive musculoskeletal deformities and pain, as well as affecting the functionality and appearance of the body. Human daily habits, lack of physical activities and overall a sedentary lifestyle cause such phenomena. The research focuses on studies of human body measurements and body characteristics while wearing posture-corrective equipment for the assessment of the effectiveness of different posture correctors (abbreviated as PoC).
Four test-persons were selected and scanned using 3D anthropometrical scanner in relaxed stand position wearing five different posture correctors for a prolonged period of time in order to determine the effectiveness and functionality of each PoC. Four distance (linear) human body measurements were gained to quantify postural changes - scapula position depth, upper torso position, shoulder projection height and hip-waist depth. General feedbacks on each subject impression of wearing PoCs were also received.
Correction of posture could serve as a preventive or treatment for spine-related problems; though, commercially available correctors could negatively affect wearer’s health due to non-conformity of the design and/or used material. Therefore, PoC selection and wearing procedures should be solved with more personalized and customized approaches.

Objective Infants with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) are at risk for developmental delays, though the mechanisms of brain injury that impair development are unknown. Potential causes could include cerebral hypoxia and cerebrovascular instability. We hypothesized that we would detect significantly reduced cerebral oxygen saturation and greater cerebrovascular instability in CHD infants compared to the healthy controls. Methods We performed a secondary analysis on a sample of 43 term infants (28 CHD, 15 healthy controls) that assessed prospectively in temporal cross-section before or at 12 days of age. CHD infants were assessed prior to open-heart surgery. Cerebral oxygen saturation levels were estimated using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, and cerebrovascular stability was assessed with the response of cerebral oxygen saturation after a postural change (supine to sitting). Results Cerebral oxygen saturation was 9 points lower in CHD than control infants in both postures (β = -9.3; 95%CI = -17.68, -1.00; p = 0.028), even after controlling for differences in peripheral oxygen saturation. Cerebrovascular stability was significantly impaired in CHD compared to healthy infants (β = -2.4; 95%CI = -4.12, -.61; p = 0.008), and in CHD infants with single ventricle compared with biventricular defects (β = -1.5; 95%CI = -2.95, -0.05; p = 0.04). Conclusion CHD infants had cerebral hypoxia and decreased cerebral oxygen saturation values following a postural change, suggesting cerebrovascular instability. Future longitudinal studies should assess the associations of cerebral hypoxia and cerebrovascular instability with long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in CHD infants.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Postural defects and accompanying dysfunctions are one of the greatest existing health problems. It is necessary to define factors responsible for the formation of incorrect body posture and strive to eliminate or modify them. The aim of the study was to determine changes in trunk positioning depending on the way of carrying a small handbag (the bag weighing 2.7 kg). Materials and methods: The study comprised 32 volunteers aged 21.75±2.00 years. The ZEBRIS Pointer system was used to test the body posture. The Statistica v13 program was applied for data compilation. Normality of distribution regarding variables was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Differences between repeated measures were estimated using ANOVA, Friedman’s rank test and post hoc tests. The level of statistical significance was α=0.05. Results: Placing the bag on one shoulder significantly increased thoracic kyphosis, while wearing the bag diagonally across the trunk caused a significant increase in both thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis. Other observed changes concerned the balance of the trunk in the sagittal plane, the position of the shoulder blades, symmetry of shoulder position and pelvic rotation. Conclusions: Carrying even a small load in the form of a bag significantly changes quality of body posture. Furthermore, changes in body posture depend on the way of carrying the load. Wearing the bag diagonally across the trunk is not better than carrying it asymmetrically on one shoulder.

Background. Considering the enormous risk of fractures in the course of osteoporosis in the area of the feet, an important aspect of prophylaxis is periodic and, in special cases, ongoing monitoring of defects and deformations as well as pressure distribution. The purpose of this article is to indicate the role of the examination of posture and pressure distribution during standing, postural balance, and gait, in the prevention of fatigue fractures in the course of osteoporosis, based on the literature review and examples of patients. Methods. The manuscript consists of two parts; it has a review-analytical character. The first part reviews the literature. The data were obtained using the MEDLINE (PubMed), as well as Cochrane and Embase databases. The database review was carried out focusing mainly on English-language publications, while taking into account the topicality of scientific and research works in the area of osteoporosis. The problem of multiaspects in the area of bone density was pointed out. Considering the above, in the second part, the authors analyzed 11 exemplary patients with osteoporosis, referring to the assessment of foot and lower limb defects using traditional posturological methods and including pedobarography to diagnostic procedures that are used in the assessment of pressure distribution, standing and moving, and an attempt to balance. Results. Analysis of the research and scientific literature proved the lack of unambiguous diagnostic procedures of the locomotor system recommended for the prevention of fatigue fractures in the course of osteoporosis. The main diagnostic recommendations are imaging tests (most often X-ray), which are recommended in the case of specific clinical symptoms. The analysis of exemplary patients with osteoporosis showed numerous disorders in the distribution of pressure in the plantar part of the feet, which are related, among other things, with their individual defects and lower limbs. Conclusions. Detailed posture diagnostics and gait estimation, along with the analysis of pressure distribution within the feet are a very important aspect of the prevention of structural degradation and fatigue fractures within the feet. An important postulate for further research and scientific work is the elaboration of the procedures that will serve the preventive diagnostics of the locomotor system, aimed at early detection of threats of fatigue fractures.

Dependent pooling occurs in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) related to defective vasoconstriction. Increased venous pressure (Pv) >20 mmHg occurs in some patients (high Pv) but not others (normal Pv). We compared 22 patients, aged 12–18 yr, with 13 normal controls. Continuous blood pressure and strain-gauge plethysmography were used to measure supine forearm and calf blood flow, resistance, venous compliance, and microvascular filtration, and blood flow and swelling during 70° head-up tilt. Supine, high Pv had normal resistance in arms (26 ± 2 mmHg · ml−1 · 100 ml · min) and legs (34 ± 3 mmHg · ml−1 · 100 ml · min) but low leg blood flow (1.5 ± 0.4 ml · 100 ml−1 · min−1). Supine leg Pv (30 ± 2 vs. 13 ± 1 mmHg in control) exceeded the threshold for edema (isovolumetric pressure = 19 ± 3 mmHg). Supine, normal Pv had high blood flow in arms (4.1 ± 0.2 vs. 3.5 ± 0.2 ml · 100 ml−1 · min−1 in control) and legs (3.8 ± 0.4 vs. 2.7 ± 0.3 ml · 100 ml−1 · min−1 in control) with low resistance. With tilt, calf blood flow increased steadily in POTS with high Pv and transiently increased in normal Pv. Calf volume increased in all POTS patients. Arm blood flow increased in normal Pv only with forearm maintained at heart level. These data suggest that there are (at least) two subgroups of POTS characterized by high Pv and low flow or normal Pv and high flow. These may correspond to abnormalities in local or baroreceptor-mediated vasoconstriction, respectively.

The location of lung regions with compromised ventilation (often called ventilation defects) during a bronchoconstriction event may be influenced by posture. We aimed to determine the effect of prone versus supine posture on the spatial pattern of methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction in six healthy adults (ages 21–41, 3 women) using specific ventilation imaging. Three postural conditions were chosen to assign the effect of posture to the drug administration and/or imaging phase of the experiment: supine methacholine administration followed by supine imaging, prone methacholine administration followed by supine imaging, and prone methacholine administration followed by prone imaging. The two conditions in which imaging was performed supine had similar spatial patterns of bronchoconstriction despite a change in posture during methacholine administration; the odds ratio for recurrent constriction was mean (SD) = 7.4 (3.9). Conversely, dissimilar spatial patterns of bronchoconstriction emerged when posture during imaging was changed; the odds ratio for recurrent constriction between the prone methacholine/supine imaging condition and the prone methacholine/prone imaging condition was 1.2 (0.9). Logistic regression showed that height above the dependent lung border was a significant negative predictor of constriction in the two supine imaging conditions ( P < 0.001 for each) but not in the prone imaging condition ( P = 0.20). These results show that the spatial pattern of methacholine bronchoconstriction is recurrent in the supine posture, regardless of whether methacholine is given prone or supine but that prone posture during imaging eliminates that recurrent pattern and reduces its dependence on gravitational height. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The spatial pattern of methacholine bronchoconstriction in the supine posture is recurrent and skewed toward the dependent lung, regardless of whether inhaled methacholine is administered while supine or while prone. However, both the recurrent pattern and the gravitational skew are eliminated if imaging is performed prone. These results suggest that gravitational influence on regional lung inflation and airway topography at the time of measurement play a role in determining regional bronchoconstriction in the healthy lung.

ABSTRACT
In this case of growth and development, the prevalence of significant growth retardation in the pediatric population is not yet clear. Through statistical calculations, 2-3% of infants are outside the range of normal motor milestones. Of this number, a small proportion (15-20%) are known to have a diagnosis of significant growth and development disorders in the form of cerebral palsy or defects at birth. A child's growth and development disorder, commonly known as Delay Development, is a disorder that attacks the child's growth and development process, in this case, a child's growth and development disorders such as cognitive, gross motoric, fine and emotional. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of a combination of bobath exercise and neurosensomotor on sitting postural control on developmental delay. This research is a pre-experimental design, with a one group pretest-post test design. After the difference test between pre-test data and post-test data using Paired T-test, the results were p = (p<0.05). This means that the hypothesis can be accepted and thus it can be concluded that there is an effect of a combination of bobath exercise and neurosensomotor on the postural ability of sitting in delayed development children.

Both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA defects can cause isolated cytochrome c oxidase (COX; complex IV) deficiency, leading to the development of the mitochondrial disease. We report a 52-year-old female patient who presented with a late-onset, progressive cerebellar ataxia, tremor and axonal neuropathy. No family history of neurological disorder was reported. Although her muscle biopsy demonstrated a significant COX deficiency, there was no clinical and electromyographical evidence of myopathy. Electrophysiological studies identified low frequency sinusoidal postural tremor at 3 Hz, corroborating the clinical finding of cerebellar dysfunction. Complete sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA genome in muscle identified a novel MT-CO2 variant, m.8163A>G predicting p.(Tyr193Cys). We present several lines of evidence, in proving the pathogenicity of this heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA variant, as the cause of her clinical presentation. Our findings serve as an important reminder that full mitochondrial DNA analysis should be included in the diagnostic pipeline for investigating individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia, and postural instability. The proximate cause of these symptoms is striatal dopamine (DA) insufficiency. The motor symptoms of PD can be alleviated by DA replacement therapy. However, late in the course of the disease patients appear to become less responsive to DA replacement. This therapeutic change suggests the possibility of structural and/or functional defects in striatal medium spiny neurons, which receive convergent DA and cortical (glutamate) inputs.To understand the neuronal reorganization occurring in Parkinson's disease, we used ultrastructural methods to examine the striatum of rats with striatal dopaminergic deafferentation induced by unilateral intranigral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine. After a six month survival, rats were deeply anesthetized with pentobarbital and perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde-1 % glutaraldehdyde solution in 0.1M Sorenson's phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The brains were removed, post-fixed for 12 hours, embedded in paraffin, and coronal sections cut through the striatum and midbrain.

1 The therapeutic efficacy of combined treatment of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and 4-dimethylaminophenol (DMAP) or hydroxylamine (H2NOH) was investigated in potassium cyanide (KCN) intoxication in male rats. 2 Therapy with NaNO 2 (0.27 mmol kg-1) + DMAP (0.09 mmol kg-1) or NaNO2 + H2NOH (0.09 mmol kg-1, produced a protection index (ratio of LD50 of KCN in rats receiving therapy to an LD50 of KCN in rats given only 0.9% saline) of 2.5 and 2.0 respectively. 3 Both the regimens exhibited a beneficial effect in terms of improving the survival time and postural defects in rats exposed to 2 LD50 KCN. 4 NaNO2 + DMAP showed a significant protective effect in the disposition of the plasma cyanide level at different time intervals. 5 The NaNO2 + DMAP regimen was superior to NaNO2 + H2NOH in terms of reactivating the inhibited brain cytochrome oxidase enzyme. 6 The addition of sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) in both the regimens increased the degree of protection. 7 The results suggest that combined therapy with NaNO2 + DMAP could significantly reduce the toxic effects of cyanide, compared with NaNO2+H2NOH treatment.

Background and Study Aim. To evaluate anterior-posterior spine curvatures and incidence of sagittal defects in children and adolescents practicing traditional Karate. Material and Methods. 152 people aged 6-16 yrs, mean age 10.5±3.03. The study group (SG), subjects attending traditional Karate classes for min one year, 60 minutes twice a week (76 people). The control group (CG) randomly selected on 1:1 basis to match SG. The anterior-posterior curvatures were measured with a gravitational inclinometer. Sauder’s norms were used to assess postural defects. Body mass, height, and BMI were measured. Mann-Whitney U-test/Student’s t-test for independent variables, χ2 test, and Cramer V test were used in statistical analysis. Results. Significant differences were observed between the groups in lumbosacral inclination ALPHA1 p<0.001; karateka had significantly lower ALPHA 1 and greater thoracic inclination (GAMMA TH/L) p=0.23. In study group, lumbosacral angle flattening (ALPHA 2) (81.6%) was greater than in CG (56.6%). ALPHA 2 (43.4%) was more frequently within the norm in CG. Increased ALPHA 2 was reported only among SG (2.6%). Differences were statistically significant (χ2 (2) = 15.23 p<0.001) and of moderate power (Cramer V=0.31). Regarding thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. Conclusions. Traditional Karate affects pelvic tilt leading to posterior tilt; it correlates with somatic parameters: height, mass, and BMI in terms of spine curvatures. The size of the lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis in karatekas is comparable to that of those not practicing sport. Frequent incidence of reduced pelvic tilt in karatekas requires implementing exercises activating anterior tilt during training session.

Purpose: Core stability is the ability of the lumbopelvic-hip complex to prevent spinal instability and return to equilibrium after a perturbation. The special physical condition in students and especially the female ones-makes them prone to Trunk Defects (TDs); thus, it makes them prone to numerous injuries, like problems in balance. The present study aimed to examine the effect of Core Stability Exercises (CSEs) on static and dynamic balance, strength, and endurance among female students with TDs. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. The study samples were 30 female high-school students with TDs (Mean±SD age: 15.63±0.49 y, height: 1.60±0.04 m, & weight: 55.96±6.08 kg). All the subjects were placed in the same group. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) was used to evaluate the dynamic balance; One-Legged Stance Test (OLST) was employed to evaluate the static balance; the McGill test was applied to evaluate trunk endurance; a dynamometer was used to assess the trunk muscle strength, and tuck-jump screening test was implemented to determine students with TDs. These tests were employed at pretest and posttest phases. The research subjects followed CSEs for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and approximately 45 minutes per session, supervised by the researcher. The Dependent Samples t-test at the significance level of P=0.05 was used for data analysis. Results: The present study results indicated a significant difference in strength, muscular endurance, as well as static and dynamic balance in the study subjects after the exercise program (P=0.001). Conclusion: According to the data, 6 weeks of CSEs could provide a solid foundation for the transfer of forces between the limbs. This is achieved by enhancing the strength and endurance of the core muscles of the body; accordingly, it leads to improved static and dynamic balance in female students with trunk control defect by reducing postural fluctuations. However, further extensive studies with larger sample sizes are required for providing more accurate conclusions.

Full textAbstract:
A retrospective study of the epidemiological and clinic-pathological aspects of cattle and buffaloes with degenerative joint disease (DJD) was conducted in the state of Pará, Brazil. From 1999 to 2014, eleven cattle and 24 buffaloes were evaluated. All the treated animals with suspected DJD underwent a clinical examination of the musculoskeletal system. In seven cattle and eight buffaloes with clinical signs of the disease postmortem examination was performed. The common clinical signs observed in both species were chronic lameness, stiff gait, postural changes, audible crackles in the affected limb, prolonged recumbency, difficulty in getting up and progressive weight loss. The lesions observed at necropsy were: irregular articular surfaces, erosion of the articular cartilage and the underlying bone tissue, and proliferation of the periarticular bone tissue with formation of osteophytes. The most affected joints in cattle and buffaloes wereof the hind limb. In buffaloes, the main predisposing factor to the onset of DJD was phosphorus deficiency. In cattle, defects of the anatomical conformation of the hind limbs, chronic trauma due to the activities performed, such as semen collection, and advanced age possibly contributed to the emergence of the disease.

Full textAbstract:
Background The current body of knowledge shows that there is very little research into the occurrence and scale of asymmetry or postural defects in table tennis. It is interesting which regions of the spine are exposed to the greatest changes in the shape of its curvatures and whether the asymmetrical position of the shoulder and pelvic girdles in table tennis players changes when adopting the ready position. Consequently, can overload occur in certain parts of the spine and can the asymmetry deepen as a response of adopting this position? The reply to these questions may be an indication of the need for appropriate compensatory or corrective measures. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of body position during play on the change in the shape of anterior–posterior spinal curvatures and trunk asymmetry in table tennis players. Methods To evaluate body posture the photogrammetric method based on the Moiré phenomenon with equipment by CQ electronic was applied. The study involved 22 female players practicing competitive table tennis (the age of 17 ± 4.5, with the average training experience of 7 ± 4.3 years, body mass of 47.8 ± 15.8, and body height of 161.2 ± 10.4). Each participant completed an author’s own questionnaire on spinal pain. The shape of curvatures in the sagittal and frontal plane was evaluated in the participant in the habitual standing position and in the table tennis ready position. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed and the significance of differences was tested using the Mann–Whitney U test. Results and Conclusions This study demonstrated the dominance of kyphotic body posture in table tennis players, which can be caused by many hours of using the ready position during playing. After adopting this position, there are significant differences in the angles of anterior and posterior spinal curvatures compared to the habitual posture. This may be the cause of overloads and pain complaints reported by the study participants. Adopting the ready position is also associated with an increase in asymmetry in the position (rotation) of the pelvis and spinous processes (frontal plane). Therefore, training programs should be extended with exercises that relieve the spine in the vertical line and exercises that improve symmetry of the work of the upper limbs, body trunk muscles and the pelvis.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, neurodegenerative diseases are a major cause of disability around the world. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second-leading cause of neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. In PD, continuous loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra causes dopamine depletion in the striatum, promotes the primary motor symptoms of resting tremor, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. The risk factors of PD comprise environmental toxins, drugs, pesticides, brain microtrauma, focal cerebrovascular injury, aging, and hereditary defects. The pathologic features of PD include impaired protein homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, nitric oxide, and neuroinflammation, but the interaction of these factors contributing to PD is not fully understood. In neurotoxin-induced PD models, neurotoxins, for instance, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), paraquat, rotenone, and permethrin mainly impair the mitochondrial respiratory chain, activate microglia, and generate reactive oxygen species to induce autooxidation and dopaminergic neuronal apoptosis. Since no current treatment can cure PD, using a suitable PD animal model to evaluate PD motor symptoms’ treatment efficacy and identify therapeutic targets and drugs are still needed. Hence, the present review focuses on the latest scientific developments in different neurotoxin-induced PD animal models with their mechanisms of pathogenesis and evaluation methods of PD motor symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
A 73-year-old male with long-standing Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia complicated with systemic amyloidosis presented with a witnessed syncopal episode. He had complaints of orthostatic dizziness and palpitations for few months. Orthostatic hypotension and peripheral neuropathy were demonstrated on physical examination. EKG, 24-hour Holter monitoring, and 2D echocardiogram were unremarkable. MRI of the brain ruled out stroke. Patients with amyloidosis can develop cardiovascular disease through amyloid cardiomyopathy, small vessel disease, conduction defects, pericardial effusion, or autonomic denervation. After ruling out other life-threatening causes, Ewing’s battery of tests was done to rule out cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Two heart rate tests and one blood pressure test were abnormal which indicated severe cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy can mask symptoms of acute coronary syndrome and hence early diagnosis using the simple bedside maneuver is beneficial. The test is also important for prognostication. Absence of augmentation of cardiac output from inadequate autonomic stimulation will lead to postural hypotension, exercise intolerance, and tachycardia. There may be no change in heart rate with Valsalva or deep breathing both of which increase parasympathetic tone. As the condition progresses, it may result in cardiac denervation which can result in silent myocardial infarction, syncope, and sudden death.

Introduction: Nutrition is one of the most essential factors conditioning normal human growth and development. Nutritional errors can be the basis for the emergence and development of obesity, hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis or postural defects. Purpose: The study aimed to learn about the dietary habits of urban high-school youth. Materials and methods: The study was conducted using the original questionnaire in 2013 and covered 200 students of randomly selected high schools. Results: Among the subjects, 70.8% consumed 4 or 5 meals during the day. The boys have eaten five meals significantly more often during the day than girls. The first breakfast was consumed by 76.5% of students and the second breakfast with 69.7%. Of the subjects, 80% indicated the eating between meals. The girls preferred sweets, fruit, and sandwiches, and the boys had sandwiches, sweets, and dairy drinks. The highest percentage of the examined youth ate sweets 3-4 times a week (41.6% girls and 35.6% boys). The respondents who consumed fast food once a week constituted of 60.9% of girls and 48.7% of boys. The girls consumed sweetened drinks most often once a week, and boys 3-4 times a week. Conclusions: Nutritional errors of adolescents consisted of irregular consumption of meals, late time of the last meal before bedtime, consumption of a large number of sweet and spicy snacks and sweetened beverages were found. Wrong nutrition concerned both girls and boys

Full textAbstract:
The effect of body posture on regional ventilation during bronchoconstriction is unknown. In five subjects with asthma, we measured spirometry, low-frequency (0.15-Hz) lung elastance, and resistance and regional ventilation by intravenous 13NN-saline positron emission tomography before and after nebulized methacholine. The subjects were imaged prone on 1 day and supine on another, but on both days the methacholine was delivered while prone. From the residual 13NN after washout, ventilation defective areas were defined, and their location, volume, ventilation, and fractional gas content relative to the rest of the lung were calculated. Independent of posture, all subjects developed ventilation defective areas. Although ventilation within these areas was similarly reduced in both postures, their volume was smaller in prone than supine (25 vs. 41%, P < 0.05). The geometric center of the ventilation defective areas was gravitationally dependent relative to that of the lung in both postures. Mean lung fractional gas content was greater in the prone position before methacholine and did not increase as much as in the supine position after methacholine. In the prone position at baseline, areas that became ventilation defects had lower gas content than the rest of the lung. In both positions at baseline, there was a gradient of gas content in the vertical direction. In asthma, the size and location of ventilation defects is affected by body position and likely affected by small differences in lung expansion during bronchoconstriction.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Environmental exposure to tricresyl phosphate (TCP) may lead to severe neurotoxic effects, including organophosphate (OP)-induced delayed neuropathy. TCP has three symmetric isomers, distinguished by the methyl group position on the aromatic ring system. One of these isomers, tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (ToCP), has been reported for years as a neuropathic OP, targeting neuropathic target esterase (NTE/PNPLA6), but its mode of toxic action had not been fully elucidated. Zebrafish eleuthero-embryo and larva were used to characterize the differential action of the TCP isomers. The symmetric isomers inhibited phenyl valerate (PV)-NTE enzymatic activity in vivo with different IC50, while no effect was observed on acetylcholinesterase activity. Moreover, the locomotor behavior was also affected by tri-para-cresyl phosphate and tri-meta-cresyl phosphate, only ToCP exposure led to locomotor hyperactivity lasting several hours, associated with defects in the postural control system and an impaired phototactic response, as revealed by the visual motor response test. The electric field pulse motor response test demonstrated that a seizure-like, multiple C-bend-spaghetti phenotype may be significantly induced by ToCP only, independently of any inhibition of PV-NTE activity. Eleuthero-embryos exposed to picrotoxin, a known gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A receptor inhibitor, exhibited similar adverse outcomes to ToCP exposure. Thus, our results demonstrated that the TCP mode of toxic action was isomer specific and not initially related to modulation of PV-NTE activity. Furthermore, it was suggested that the molecular events involved were linked to an impairment of the balance between excitation and inhibition in neuronal circuits.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the method of individual correction of the morphofunctional state of students engaged in shaping. It is noted that the main content of classes in groups is the implementation of specially designed programs in which the duration of classes in classical shaping is 60 minutes: warm-up (4-5 minutes), main (45-50 minutes) and final (3-5 minutes) parts. It was found that the peculiarity of the beginning of shaping classes is a change in the nature of music and exercises performed in different parts of the class: different in pace, rhythmic pattern. This helps to maintain emotional mood, interest in classes.
Harmonious physical development is an important condition for human health. Chronic diseases are often the cause of various disorders of physical development, especially in children and adolescents, leading to a decrease in total body size, defects of the musculoskeletal system, postural disorders, the shape of the chest, legs, feet. At the same time, favorable socio-economic and sanitary-hygienic living conditions improve physical development, reduce the incidence of both children and adults. Physical education classes, in particular shaping classes, are also important. In addition, it is known that the best way to form a culture of body and movement - is athletic gymnastics, shaping, aerobics and dancing. Especially wide direction.
Athletic gymnastics in shaping is an integral part of the training system. In contrast to the conventional, athletic gymnastics in shaping solves problems that are aimed mainly at the problem parts of the body of those involved.

Full textAbstract:
Both posture and loading rate are key factors in the herniation process and can determine the failure mechanism of the disc. The influence of disc structure on the herniation process has yet to be directly observed, thus the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that discs containing greater levels of pre-existing disruption would be more vulnerable to herniation when subjected to severe levels of posture and loading. 30 ovine lumbar motion segments were subjected to combinations of 4 loading conditions (0 - 12° flexion,0 - 9° lateral bending, 0 - 4° axial rotation, 0-1500 N axial compression) for 1000 loading cycles at 2 Hz in a dynamic disc loading simulator. The discs were scanned in an ultra-high field MRI (magnetic resonance imaging, 11.7 T) prior to and following testing. 4 discs herniated and 7 discs suffered nucleus displacement. These discs contained pre-existing defects in the central dorsal annulus. Generally, following testing, discs contained more dorsal annulus disruption, including 7 discs which developed similar characteristic defects although these did not herniate. Overall, more severe complex postures produced more disruption. While more severe postures such as twisting and bending increased disc damage, these results are probably the first directly showing that naturally occurring defects in the disc can act as initiation sites for herniation. The clinical significance of these findings is that, in principle at least, MRI based techniques could be capable of identifying vulnerable discs, with the obvious caveat that further correlation with clinical techniques is required.

Full textAbstract:
Postural stability is dependent on the interpretation of external inputs acquired by sensory information processes, such as visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems, in order to accomplish neuromuscular control, balance maintenance, and appropriate motor response. A defect in any of these systems, or in the integration of information given by these systems, might threaten their capacity to maintain balance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory integration and balance using the Biodex balance system (BBS) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the static posture. Seventy-four children from both sexes, 38 with ASD matched with 36 typically developed (TD) children as a control group, were included in the study. Using the Biodex balance system, the postural sway was evaluated through the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance (m-CTSIB) during quiet standing. In this test, four different situations were considered from standing position: eyes open/firm surface, eyes closed/firm surface, eyes open/foam surface, and eyes closed/foam surface. ASD children showed a significant increase in postural sway under all tested conditions when compared to the TD children group, especially for the conditions in which visual and somatosensory inputs were disrupted (p-value < 0.05). These results provide evidence that postural stability decreased in ASD children. Under static postural challenges, the current study’s findings imply that children diagnosed with ASD have postural control deficiencies, especially for the conditions in which visual and somatosensory input was disrupted. Further research must be conducted to find the best balance training program for ASD cases using the Biodex balance system and considering its impact on motor skills.
