"Detenzor" method in the complex treatment of children with functional disorders and diseases of the spine on an outpatient basis

Diseases of the spine (juvenile kyphosis, juvenile osteochondrosis, dysplastic scoliosis) and its functional disorders (non-fixed kyphosis, sluggish posture, flat back, postural disorder) occupy one of the first places in the structure of orthopedic pathology in childhood and adolescence [1–4]. Of 320 children examined by an orthopedist in a children's clinic for 6 months, 27 (8.4%) had dysplastic scoliosis, 48 (15%) had impaired posture, and 142 (44.4%) had flaccid posture. Out of 48 children with postural disorders, 4 had pathology of the hip joint, 3 had congenital muscular torticollis. One 9-year-old child with dysplastic scoliosis of the 1st degree suffered from congenital clubfoot.
