Abstract
Background. The primary purpose of this article is to draw attention to the problem of lateral scoliosis in children and adolescents, a serious issue in orthopedics. This subject should be of interest not only to orthopedists, but also to pediatricians, rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, family physicians, and even specialists in internal medicine. The authors’ goal is to focus on the basic facts concerning this disorder, its classification, and the epidemiology. Material and methods. In our clinical work over the last 30 years we have observed patients treated at the Rehabilitation Center in Konstancin, Poland. The rate of occurrence of scoliosis has been calculated, and the data broken down by sex, age, and residence (urban or rural). The goal was to point out any possible predisposition by gender, to discover whether the residence had any impact on the likelihood of diagnosis due to better facilities, and to specify the age at which there occurs the greatest risk of occurrence. Results. Despite a systematic increase in the number of patients admitted to our Center, there has not been a proportional increase in the number of patients with scoliosis, and in fact the number has diminished. A distinct tendency for scoliosis to appear in girls was noticed. Scoliosis is more often diagnosed in urban children and adolescents. Conclusions. More precise examination and diagnosis of children is required in respect to the possible occurrence of lateral scoliosis, especially in rural environments. Other aspects, such as gender-related trends and the most common type of scoliosis, do not differ from the data reported in the literature.

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.
