The aim of the following work is to evaluate faulty posture rate among kindergarten children. The following article describes the objective and the character of the promotional and prophylactic program conducted by the Wrocław City Council (Urząd Miasta Wrocławia) concerning the “Keep straight” (“Trzymaj się prosto”) campaign. The program includes youth between age of seven and seventeen in whom slight symptoms of faulty posture, concerning lower limbs and the spine, were revealed during examination. The only prophylactic activity assumed by the “Keep it straight” campaign are corrective exercises in gymnasium and swimming pool. The screening of the children and youth also allows introductional diagnostics and recognition of permanent faults and direction of the patients to specialist treatment in orthopedic and rehabilitation clinics. The screening was conducted on the verge of October and November 2007. A physical posture examination method was used to evaluate the faults that appeared. The children from five of Wrocław`s kindergartens were examined. The following work presents the symptomatology of the most frequent faults and highlights the necessity of conducting prophylactic activity at a very young age. The faulty posture is a serious diagnostic and therapeutic problem among young children and can be a source of severe health problems in their future. 373 children were examined. Faulty posture was revealed among 295 what represents 79,08% of the patients; 78 were described as healthy (20,92%). There were 160 boys (80,8%) and 135 girls (77,14%) in the group with faulty posture. There were 38 (19,2%) boys without faulty posture and 40 (22,86%) girls in the same group.

Introduction. The degenerative low back diseases are the most often causes of the restrain of the physical activity among young and middle-aged people. They are also the main cause of disability to work and absence at work. During the whole life about 80% of the entire society complains about low back pain. In pathogenesis of low back pain the important part is led by the changes that take place in the area of the intervertebral disc and joints surrounding that area as well as ligaments of spine. Choosing the right treatment is a very difficult task to do. That is because there are many different methods and many various techniques that are used in the treatment of the degenerative changes of low back. Aim. The aim of this research is to assess the influence of the lasertherapy and magnetotherapy in connection with kinesitherapy used by patients with the degenerative low back disease. Material and methods. The research was done on 30 people, aged between 41-62. The patients have taken ten procedures of the lasertherapy, magnetotherapy and kinesitherapy. The following examinations were conducted before and after the termination of the treatment: range of movement of the lumbar-sacral spine by Saunders’s digital inclinometer, Laseque test and level of pain by VAS. Results. Analysing the average value of the researched parameters determining the range of movement of the spine, higher values were observed in the second test. An increase in the range of the movement of the spine occurred in every area. The importance of the discussed variable turned out to be statistically highly decreased in the second test, which allows us to certify that after having undergone the treatment, the patients felt far less low back pain. In 43,4% of the patients the Laseque symptom before the therapy occured, 56,6% showed no signs of the symptom. After the treatment only 20% of the subjects suffered from the Laseque symptom, while 80% remained pain free. After having undergone the treatment, the number of patients in pain highly decreased statistically. Conclusions. Lasertherapy and magnetotherapy linked with kinesitherapy caused a substancial decrease of the level of pain. After the treatment an increase in the range of the movement of the spine was observed in all areas. The combined therapies, used on patients with the degenerative low back disease, consisting of lasertherapy, magnetotherapy and kinesitherapy highly decreased the occurence of the Laseque symptom.
