Sažetak

Scoliosis is the most common orthopedic deformity in children, characterized by a three-dimensional curvature of the spine; lateral inclination in the frontal plane, rotation in the transvesical plane and alteration in the sagittal plane (anterior or posterior). The problem of improper posture in children is one of the significant problems of the modern way of life, and it appears at an increasingly early age. It is estimated that there are around 10.5 million scoliosis sufferers on the planet. About 60% to 80% of all cases are detected in women, and they are five to eight times more likely to progress and require treatment. Progression occurs during the years of growth, from the age of 7 the growth is 36%, and from the age of 10 even 52%.
Specific exercises are the main instrument of conservative treatment of scoliosis. They have been used since 500 BC, when Hippocrates, followed by Galen, introduced their use as a means of maintaining the flexibility of the chest wall.
Over the years, various methods have been developed, the most famous of which is Schroth (Germany), then Bspts (Spain), Seas (Italy), Dopomed (Poland). The exercise program consists of strengthening certain muscle groups and of performing respiratory exercises and it contains: breathing exercises, stretching exercises for shortened muscles, exercises for strengthening the paravertebral musculature, and posture exercises. A good and effective kinesiotherapy program should be based on a kinesiological analysis of selected kinesiological operators.
