Abstract
Background: The aim of the study is to present the process of monitoring the changes in the effi-ciency of equilibrium reactions in the children with postural disorders, in the course of the thera-peutic process.
Methods: The shape of spine and the efficiency of equilibrium reactions in standing posture and during gait were assessed in all the subjects. The subjects were put in 2 groups: with the shape of spine disorder and without one. The recommended set of therapeutic activities in home conditions lasted about 20 minutes and was performed by the child with parent’s supervision. The therapeutic program was based on elements of the PNF and Vojta methods. The following parameters were measured: maximum movement of the center of presure (CoP) in the frontal plane during gate, maximum movement of the CoP in the sagittal plane, movement of the CoP in the frontal plane in static conditions, movement of the CoP in the sagittal plane in static conditions.
Results: Six statistically significant differences were recorded, all of them were related to measurement I. The Friedman test result was statistically significant for all the indexes. Post-hoc analyzes were performed using the Dunn-Bonferroni test.
Conclusions:
1. The children with shape of spine disorders are featured by lower efficiency of equivalent reactions in relation to the children without disorders.
2. The therapy with the application of neurophysiological methods in the treatment of shape of spine disorders improves equilibrium reactions in these patients.
3. Long-lasting and thorough observations of the therapeutic process in the children with shape of spine disorders should include the monitoring of the efficiency of equilibrium reactions
