Abstract
The aim of the research was to assess the impact of flexion and extension angles and lateral torso flexion on the selected spine and pelvis parameters among the population of children aged between 7 and 15 years.
Material and methods. The research was conducted in randomly selected kindergartens and schools in the Warmia and Masuria region and the Pomerania region during six semi-annual editions. The study population consisted of 2,361 children. This allowed to record 16,608 observations of 31 parameters describing body posture using the photogrammetric method.
Results. The analysis of multiple regression with selection of the subset of the optimal set of variables included four parameters affecting the following: flexion angle and extension angle in the sagittal plane, angle of flexion to the left and to the right in the frontal plane. The set of variables included the parameters of the pelvis-spine complex.
Conclusions.
1. Spinal parameters are significantly and positively affected by the angle of torso extension in the sagittal plane and the angle of flexion to the left in the frontal plane and negatively influenced by the flexion angle in the sagittal plane.
2. The values of torso extension and flexion angles in the sagittal plane and torso flexion to the left and right in the frontal plane have a significant and positive impact on the total length of the spine (C7-S1) and the percentage of growth (DCK%), the Delta angle and the height of lumbar lordosis. The inclination angle of the lumbosacral spine, the total spinal length and the percentage of body height and the height of lumbar lordosis account for the parameters that are most dependent on the angles describing vertical orientation of the axial organ.
3. The significant negative impact on the spine parameters is remarkably lower. The most negatively dependent parameters include: lumbosacral inclination angle, the length and angle of thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis angle.
4. Hardly any influence of the analysed angles on pelvis parameters demonstrated herein requires further studies on the impact of foot parameters on the parameters of pelvis and spine.
5. The significant correlations of flexion and extension angles in the sagittal plane as well as the flexion angle in the frontal plane should be taken into consideration in the process of correcting body posture defects and errors.

A. Kaiser, M. Mrozkowiak – Impact of the environment, age, gender, height and weight on the size of spinal-pelvic syndrome features. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(4); 64-74

Abstract
The objective of the study was to analyze the impact of the environment, age, gender, height and weight on selected values of features describing the spinal-pelvic syndrome.
Material and methods. The study was conducted in a population of 2,361 children aged 7 to 15, in six semi-annual editions. This allowed to register 16,608 observations of 31 features describing body posture using the photogrammetric method.
Results. Due to the number of measurements obtained and the results of statistical calculations, only the results of the impact of high and medium significance were qualified for the analysis, consciously ignoring the impact of little significance. For multiple regression analysis with the selection of a subset of the optimal set of variables, five influencing parameters were selected: environment: city, age, gender: boy, girl, height and weight. The set of variables included parameters of the spinal-pelvic syndrome.
Conclusions:
1. The impact of the environment, gender, height and weight on selected body posture features is multidirectional and diverse.
2. Gender, then body height, body weight, environment and age have a significant and positive impact on body posture. The environment, then height and weight, gender and age significantly and negatively affect posture features.
3. Body weight and height as well as the environment significantly and positively affect the alpha angle; however, the alpha angle is negatively affected by gender and age. Body weight and height as well as the environment negatively affect the length of thoracic kyphosis; however, it is positively affected by gender and age. Body height and the environment positively affect the height of the lumbar lordosis; however, it is negatively affected by body weight, gender and age.

Key words:
projection moiré, body posture features, environment, gender, age, weight and height
