What are the reasons for the violation of posture in children?
Hypodynamia is characterized as reduced motor activity of the body. This feature is the main and perhaps the only reason that causes a violation of posture in children.
According to the observations, you can easily determine the time that the child spends on outdoor rest. Alas, the results are far from comforting. In the morning - classes at school, then an additional lesson that are most often not related to physical activity, after which the time spent at home for doing homework and sitting at a computer or TV. Today, a rare child can boast of a time that he would spend on outdoor activities.
According to statistics, a violation of posture in children occurs in approximately 70%, and approximately 10% occurs scoliosis.
How are the posture disturbances in children classify?
Violation of posture in children is as follows. With a sagittal plane, the wrong position of the bends of the spine occurs, namely, visibility appears:
- flat position of the back;
- flat-wrapped back position;
- pronounced stooping;
- round position of the back;
- round-the-conjugated back position.
The main sign that explains the violation of posture in the frontal plane in children is a pronounced asymmetric position of both halves of the body. When a person is in a horizontal position, asymmetry can disappear, which is characteristic, unlike a disease such as scoliosis. This is considered a clear sign that the defect is functional and easily correcting if the prevention of posture is carried out.
Characterization of scoliosis
The main sign of scoliosis is a violation of the correct position of the spine in the side area of \u200b\u200bthe body, as well as the process of characteristic twisting of the vertebrae. With the development of scoliosis, a costal stabbing on the chest and the muscle roller in the lower backing of the lower back appear. Scoliosis can develop according to four stages. The diagnosis of scoliosis is usually made after an X -ray examination of the patient.
Preventive measures to eliminate posture disorders
It is worth noting that posture prevention is, first of all, a comprehensive and measured approach:
- prevention of posture disorders should consist of compulsory daily full sleep, preferably on a hard surface. The child can be in a position lying on his back or stomach;
- be sure to pay attention to shoes. It should be convenient and match the size of the child;
- it is important to control the correct regime of the child’s day (full sleep, wakefulness until 9-10 pm, proper nutrition and so on);
- daily walks, active rest, physical education, sports;
- elimination of bad habits, including the use of poor-quality food (chips, coca-boles, chewing gum and the like), daily loads when wearing weights, prolonged sitting at the computer, in the chair;
- regularly massage;
- it is also important to include such physical activity as swimming in the daily routine.
Since it is not always possible to visit a doctor to examine the posture of a child, each parent must be able to do it himself. To do this, it is necessary to undress the child to the waist (expose the back and stomach), put it evenly, and examine the back, stomach, chest. If you notice defects such as a head bowed to one level, a different leg length, the appearance of a hump, a pronounced curvature of the spine or any other asymmetry, it is urgent to lead the child to the pediatrician, which will be directed to an additional orthopedic examination. Remember, the faster you turn to a specialist, the more successfully the treatment will be.
