Violation of posture in school children

Hypodinamy is a developed variant of hypokinesia, which means reduced and insufficient mobility of the muscles of the body. Civilization of the 20th century gave people all sorts of amenities, easy and comfortable movement, thanks to vehicles. Communication, which was previously available only through a personal meeting, which means travel and traffic, now it is available by phone or via the Internet. And more of all this affects our children. As a result, health problems and the development of such a common disease as scoliosis.

Causes of posture disorder

Hypodinamia has been developing since childhood, children, even if the school is only 10 minutes walk, prefer to travel this distance by transport. Then they spend 6 hours in a sitting position at the desks, not counting 5 minutes of change or the day when there is physical education. And so every day, after returning home, they again sit down for lessons, and then they say that the back is tired and do not lie on the sofa watching TV.

If you calculate the activity time of a student for a week, then this is a rather sad result. Two days for 40 minutes of physical education, sometimes swimming or another sport. The Ministry of Education is not at all interested in the physical development of children, it is not in the programs, only mental subjects are given attention. Children get used to this way of life, only one child from 5-6 himself rushes out on the street to walk, the rest sit at home and play computer games. As a result, in appearance, an adult young man aged 16-17 years old is only in appearance, in fact he is at least weakened by immunity, his muscles can be atrophied, etc. 50% of children at the age of 14 already have serious problems withSpine, more than 70% of children are dislocated posture, scoliosis and curvature of the spine.

A home examination of a child

Parents should not rely on school and annual medical examinations, they only state the fact, but you can follow the child's bearing. As parents you see children every day and can notice the changes, it is recommended to inspect the back of the child at least once every 3 months. It's pretty simple, the baby has to undress to panties, and you need to examine it when it stands in a natural free-style pose. Pay attention to how the child holds his head, evaluate the line of the spine, whether his shoulders are symmetrical, you need to pay attention to the symmetry of the feet and knees. Then evaluate the child from the side, on this side the bend of the spine is clearly visible, even without the experience you can notice an obvious curvature. Going in front, you will clearly see the symmetry of the chest, and if the child stoops, as a rule, the shoulders bring forward, which is also clearly visible.

Signs of violations of the

  • spine to the gluteal fold should be even and make up one line with it;
  • one shoulder above the other;
  • the head arbitrarily leans sideways;
  • scapulas far receding from the rib cage;
  • feet of different length;
  • waist from different sides of different sizes;
  • non-straightening hump;
  • can be other pronounced curvatures.

These symptoms require a doctor.

Prevention

The simplest method of prevention will be to observe some common truths. Today, children carry textbooks to school in anything, these bags are absolutely unsuitable for the children's back. Buy backpacks, which have enough pockets, so that you can distribute the load evenly. The back of the backpack should be moderately stiff and not larger than the shoulders of the child, the weight is not more than 10% of the child's weight.

The correct installation of the training table is important, it should stand near the window and it is desirable that the daylight is on the left. Track the height of the table and chair as far as the child is comfortable to hold hands at this level and whether it is necessary for him to lean on the table to reach the notebook. Do not force the child to sit for long, 40 minutes of lessons and 15 minutes of rest are enough for the house.

Exercises for posture

The following exercises are effective:

  • Pull against the wall with shoulder blades, buttocks and heels, hands are at shoulder level, palms outwards, you need to stretch your arms and back muscles and slide your hands against the wall like flying;
  • Lying on your stomach, stretch your arms along the body, legs folded together. Then simultaneously raise your legs and arms up. In this case, the body is bent at the waist, the chest touches the floor and a little stomach, when the floor body touches the pelvis.
  • Exercise( bicycle), lying flat on the back, legs rise at an angle of 45 'and rotate as pedals, for 5-7 seconds.

Such simple actions will preserve the health and future of your child.
