“…The postural system compensates for these deficiencies by triggering spontaneous substitution. So-called passive stabilisation takes place, which is obtained by manipulation of the support plane and projection of the centre of gravity or by utilising periarticular elements for the purpose of passive stabilisation [23]. The second way is excessive proximal or distal stabilisation, so-called fixation based on reflexive tonic activity.…”

“…Stability is maintained by constant or phase tension of postural muscles, whose activity is controlled by both central and peripheral signals [13]. The resultant of this control is the determined location of the body's centre of gravity [14,15]. It is generally assumed that posture control is based on the control of the centre of gravity of the body.…”

Introduction: The analysis of somatic features is an important part of health assessment. Body mass, height, and the size of the support surface are determinants of static mechanical stability Aim of the research: To analyse canonical correlations between somatic features and postural stability in children aged 10-12 years. Material and methods: The study included 301 children aged 10-12 years. Body composition was assessed using the method of bioelectrical impedance analysis, which consists of the evaluation of resistance to the flow of an electric current. Postural stability was evaluated using the Biodex Balance System platform. Postural stability testing was performed with both feet positioned on a stable surface, with open eyes. Results and conclusions: Measurements of somatic traits and body composition, which were compared to norms, showed that the majority of subjects had normal somatic features and body composition. All children during the postural stability test were in research Zone A, and most of them tended to lean to the right and left back (Quadrant III, IV). There were significant correlations between somatic variables and postural stability. On the somatic variables side, the largest share was in body height and muscle mass (%), and the highest shares in the postural stability variables were the total stability index, the percentage of time spent in Quadrant III, and the percentage of time spent in Quadrant IV. Body height and muscle mass (%) were most strongly correlated with variable postural stability. Streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Analiza cech somatycznych jest ważnym elementem oceny stanu zdrowia dzieci. Masa ciała, wysokość i wielkość powierzchni podparcia są wyznacznikami statycznej stabilności mechanicznej. Cel pracy: Analiza korelacji kanonicznych między cechami somatycznymi a stabilnością posturalną u dzieci w wieku 10-12 lat. Materiał i metody: Badaniami objęto 301 dzieci w wieku 10-12 lat. Skład ciała oceniono metodą impedancji bioelektrycznej, która polega na ocenie oporności przepływu prądu elektrycznego. Stabilność postawy badano za pomocą platformy Biodex Balance System. Wykonano test stabilności postawy z obiema stopami ustawionymi na stabilnym tle z otwartymi oczami. Wyniki i wnioski: Pomiary cech somatycznych i składu ciała, które porównywano z normami, wykazały, że większość badanych miała prawidłowe cechy somatyczne i skład ciała. Wszystkie dzieci w czasie testu stabilności posturalnej znajdowały się w strefie badawczej A i większość z nich miała tendencję do wychylania ciała w prawy i lewy tył (kwadrat III, IV). Stwierdzono istotne korelacje między zmiennymi somatycznymi a stabilnością posturalną. Po stronie zmiennych somatycznych największy udział miały wysokość ciała i masa mięśni (%), a po stronie zmiennych stabilności posturalnej-całkowity indeks stabilności, procent czasu przebywania w III kwadracie i procent czasu przebywania w IV kwadracie. Wysokość ciała i masa mięśni (%) były najsilniej skorelowane ze zmiennymi stabilności posturalnej.

“…A modified pressure biofeedback unit has been used. Participants performed segmental spinal movements that primarily involved segmental spinal stabilizing muscles with graded and sustained muscle contraction against/off a pressure cuff from baseline to target pressures and then maintained for 1 min [9]. In another study, the specific sensory-signal system has been successfully used as an advanced biofeedback therapy method that enhanced self-correction of the undesirable posture.…”

Background and Objectives: The deformity in idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is three dimensional and effective correction involves all three planes. Recently, the biofeedback method has been implemented in the treatment of scoliosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative biofeedback SKOL-AS® postural training among children with scoliosis. Materials and Methods: The target population for this study was 28 patients (25 girls and 3 boys) aged between 5 and 16 years old diagnosed and treated with progressing low-grade scoliosis. The postural diagnosis consisted of anthropometric measurements, posterior–anterior X-ray imaging, SpinalMeter® postural assessment and the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) assessment. The SKOL-AS® treatment comprised of 24 sessions conducted in lying and sitting positions, two times a week. Results: It has been shown that the postural training resulted in the decrease in the ATR value (pre- vs. post-exercise in younger: 5.55 vs. 3.0 and older patients: 5.2 vs. 3.0). The increase in height of the subjects seemed to confirm a positive effect of SKOL-AS® elongation treatment. In the posterior view, a statistically significant decrease in shoulder asymmetry in the sitting position in younger children has been observed. In the anterior view, the changes in the head position (based on mouth and eye symmetry) have been observed. The statistically significant increase in acromion–heel, acromion–iliac crest and posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)–heel length values has been shown in younger children on the left side of the body. After treatment, older subjects had higher acromion–iliac crest and PSIS–heel values on the left side of the body. On the right side only PSIS–heel length was higher. In a sitting position, only a small increase in acromion–iliac crest length value has been observed. Conclusions: The SKOL-AS® biofeedback method could teach good postural habits and teach patients the auto-correction of the spine.

“…Idiopathic scoliosis is divided into three sub-groups according to the age of the patient at the time of diagnosis: infantile (age 0-3), juvenile (age 4-9) and adolescent (age 10 up to maturity) 1,3 . The diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is based on physical and radiological examination (Cobb's angle) and has a prevalence in the general population of 1-3% 4,5 . Scoliosis can be treated either conservatively or surgically depending on the severity of the disease 6 .…”
