The effect of physioterapy methods to the posture of children with juveniline osteochondrosis

Subject: posture changes: the level of kyphosis and lordosis, trunk length, the level of pelvic inclinations to the left and to the right sides, the rotation of vertebral surface. Research aim: to evaluate posture changes of children with juvenile osteochondrosis using physiotherapy methods and testing them with DIERS formetric III 4D device. Objectives: 1. To evaluate pain level before physiotherapy session and after four weeks of sessions physiotherapy. 2. Diagnose the level of lordosis and kyphosis before and after physiotherapy sessions. 3. Diagnose the level of pelvic inclinations to the left and to the right sides before and after physiotherapy sessions. 4. Diagnose the rotation of vertebral surface (+max, -max) before and after physiotherapy sessions. Reasearch hypothesis: the level of kyphosis and lordosis will decrease, the level of pelvic inclinations to the left and to the right sides will decrease and the level of the rotation of vertebral surface will decrease of children with juvenile osteochondrosis physiotherapy methods. Research results: individual sessions of physiotherapy of four weeks significantly reduced pain, the level of kyphosis and the level of pelvic inclinations to the left and to the right (p≤0,05). Although the level of lordosis and the rotation of vertebral surface changed statistically unreliably (p≥0,05). Conclusions: 1. Physiotherapy signifantly reduced the level of pain of children with juvenile osteochondrosis 2. Physiotherapy significantly reduced the level of kyphosis, although lordosis the changes not significant. 3. The level of pelvic inclinations to the left and to the right reduced using physiotherapy method. 4. Physiotherapy does not have significant influence to the rotation of vertebral surfac
