“…The experimental group received a functional exercise programme designed to correct postural thoracic kyphosis, and the control group received an exercise programme designed in accordance with the curriculum. In this study, the following parameters were assessed: angle of thoracic kyphosis, angle of lumbar lordosis, sacral angle and trunk inclination, measured in an upright position; range of motion of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine, change in centre of gravity, measured in positions of forward flexion and (Albertsen et al, 2018).…”

Introduction:The musculoskeletal system plays an essential role in the performance of various movements and positioning of the body in space. Musculoskeletal diseases are an urgent problem of modern medicine. The investigation aims to determine the main pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and propose ways to avoid them. Methods:For the analysis were used the data of 3 different research, were based on the data about 12-13 years old children. This is a retrospective study. Also was conducted anthropometric measurements, and correlation and comparison methods were used. Results:It is shown that in adolescence, the musculoskeletal system is significantly reformed. Children experience rapid growth spurts, with girls having the growth spurt before boys. In addition, skeletal structures differ in adolescents of different sexes. It is noted that pain sensations that arise in adolescence persist in a more mature age and lead to various pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. Conclusion:Modern adolescents have a tendency towards a deterioration of somatometric and somatoscopic indicators, which characterize the functional state of the spine. In case of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, rehabilitation should begin as early as possible using the appropriate therapeutic exercise techniques.

“…One of the most widely used clinical tests is arm-raising Matthiass test. It evaluates the dynamic postural performance in the sagittal plane during standing with arms lifted forward to 90°s houlder flexion for 30 s. The Matthiass posture test is dedicated to detecting posture changes in children and adolescents [2]. It is a fast and safe detection method of posture weaknesses.…”

“…It has been shown as an accurate tool used for examination postural changes in scoliosis [5][6][7], Scheuermann disease [8], and leg length inequality [9,10]. Previously demonstrated good reliability of rasterstereographic measurements shows their validity and reliability during static measures, such as the Matthiass test [2]. However, it is not clear what kind of postural changes in the sagittal plane are observed in Matthias test after the adolescence in young adulthood.…”

Background Postural assessment is an important part of the physical examination in the physical therapy practice. One of the most commonly used clinical tests is an arm-raising Matthiass test. The aim of this study was to investigate posture changes in sagittal plane observed during Matthiass test in young adults using a rasterstereography method. Methods Fourteen young and healthy volunteers, nine female and four male aged between 21 and 25 took part in this study. Examination s performed with the rasterstereographic measuring device. Results Trunk inclination significantly decreased during Matthiass test and the pelvis inclination increased. Distance between kyphosis apex and cervical lordosis apex was significantly shorter during the test than in standing position. Distance between kyphosis apex and lumbar lordosis apex significantly increased during Matthiass test. Kyphosis angle was significantly decreased and the lumbar lordosis angle was increased during the test. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that Matthias test can cause significant deviations in posture in young participants. Changes in the sagittal plane are observed mainly right after the elevation of the arms.
