Assessment of Changes in Trunk Parameters in Children with Scoliosis
Abstract
In this article, we examined the anthropometric data of the physical parameters of children with scoliosis under the age of 12. A total of 400 people of both sexes with asthenic, hypersthenic and normosthenic body types were under observation, divided into three age periods (newborns (the first 4 weeks after birth), the first period of childhood (3-7 years) and the second period of childhood (8-12 years). Physical indicators include body length and weight, gowdy circumference. Anthropometric studies of children were studied using a centimeter tape, the data obtained were statistically processed. In the statistical processing of the study data, the method of variational statistics was used with the calculation of the arithmetic mean (M), the error of the arithmetic mean (± m), the degree of reliable probability (P). The results of the study show that the curvature of the spinal column leads to the fact that the morphological parameters of different parts of the body become smaller compared to healthy children. In the first period of childhood, when these indicators were almost the same in both sexes, significant differences were found in the second period of childhood. Thus, it was found that during puberty, the lag of anthropometric indicators in children with scoliosis is aggravated in comparison with healthy children.
