The aim of the research is to determine the frequency of disorder of spine postural status (kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis) and deviation from the normal status of the foot, and the analysis of the differences between boys and girls.
Methods: Assessment of foot postural status was carried out by a computer system Pedic by examining the feet. Assessment of spine postural status was performed by Spine Scan portable device. Data were analyzed according to the frequency for the assessment of spinal status, the status of the foot, that is by gender. Significance of the differences based on gender was determined by Chi-square test.
