Background: Regular physical therapy of people with Down syndrome improves the efficiency of such treatment. However, it remains unclear whether a discontinuation of the therapy over the period of summer holiday influences the effects of the therapeutic process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of summer holiday on postural tone and quantitative parameters of body posture (angle of trunk rotation in the transverse plane and the spinal curvatures such as kyphosis or lordosis in the sagittal plane) in young people with Down syndrome. Material/Methods: Twenty one people aged 14 to 24 years were examined, with IQ scores from 54 to 35 on the Wechsler Intelligence scale. The experimental group was young people with Down syndrome whereas the control group were people with moderate intellectual disability without additional neurological, orthopaedic and other genetic disorders. The postural tone coefficient (PTC) and values of the spinal curvature (lordosis and kyphosis) and angle of trunk rotation (ATR) were evaluated twice. The first measurement was performed after 10 months of regular neurorehabilitation according to the neurodevelopment concept while the second - after 2 months of summer holiday. Results: During the holiday, the PTC value reduced significantly in the controls, from 0.40 to 0.37 (p=0.02), whereas in young people with Down syndrome, postural tone did not change significantly (p=0.33). In terms of the parameters of body posture, one significant change was observed in the group of patients with Down syndrome (kyphosis, p=0.00). Conclusions: No significant correlations were found between postural tone and values of kyphosis, lordosis and angle of trunk rotation, except for the relationship between PTC and angle of trunk rotation obtained in the main thoracic measurement (Th5- Th12, p=0.03).

The aim of the research was to assess influence of a 90-minute specialist fencing training on selected features of the spine and pelvis under a vertical load in a group of young competitors. The research was carried out in 2015 among 23 fencers (mean ± SD, age: 16 ±1.20 years; body height: 168.4 ±4.68 cm; body weight: 54.7 ±8.26 kg). The method involved measurement of thirty features, describing spatially pelvis and physiological spinal curvature under a vertical load, constituting 1/3 of the body weight before and after specialist training. Statistically significant disturbances in vertically overstretched posture occurred after the training among examined boys within the following features: increase in length of left side scoliosis, progression of lumbar lordosis and lumbosacral spine, increase of the trunk extension angle and shoulder asymmetry. Among examined girls statistically significant changes occurred only within pelvis area: increase of left pelvic tilt in the coronal plane, decrease of right pelvic tilt in the horizontal plane. Adjustment in deficiencies within hip joints movement, increase pelvis and lower limbs muscle strength in girls’ training is necessary. What is recommended for all competitors is prophylaxis of the spinal pain syndrome and expanding endurance shaping exercises during a training unit.

Badaniami objęto 60. dzieci w wieku 3 lat, 199. w wieku 4 lat i 402. w wieku 5 lat z wybranych losowo przed-szkoli regionu warmińsko-mazurskiego. Do pomiaru wykorzystano fotogrametryczną i fotometryczną ocenę postawy ciała w płaszczyżnie strzałkowej. Stwierdzono: 1. Postawa dziecka w wieku 3 lat charakteryzuje się znacznym odchyleniem tyłowia w tył. Jeśli tułów jest w zgięciu w przód, to w bardzo niewielkim stopniu. Zde-cydowanie kąt, długość, wysokość i głębokość kifozy piersiowej są większe niż lordozy lędźwiowej. 2. Postawa dziecka w wieku 4 lat charakteryzuje się odchyleniem tułowia w tył. Jeśli tułów jest w zgięciu w przód, to w bardzo niewielkim stopniu, w przybliżeniu z równymi wartościami kątowymi i głębokościowymi kifozy piersiowej i lordozy lędźwiowej a różnymi długościowymi i wysokościowymi. Zdecydowanie długość i wysokość kifozy piersiowej jest większa niż lordozy lędźwiowej. 3. Postawa dziecka w wieku 5 lat charakteryzuje się odchyleniem tułowia w tył. Jeśli tułów jest zgięty w przód, to w bardzo niewielkim stopniu, nieco większym kątem lordozy lędźwiowej niż kifozy piersiowej, znacznie większą wysokością długością i głębokością kifozy piersiowej niż lordozy lędźwiowej.

The research covered 60 children aged 3, 199 aged 4, 402 aged 5 years, from randomly selected kindergartens from the province of Warmia and Mazury. Examinations embraced Moire topography and photometric assessment of the posture of the body in the sagittal plain. Conclusions: 1. At the age of 3, body posture is characterized by the trunk considerably bent to the back and if the bend is to the front then to a very slight extent. 2. At the age of 4, body posture is characterized by the trunk bent to the back and if the bend is to the front then to a very slight extent, with approximately equal angle and depth values and different length and height values for chest kyphosis and loin lordosis. 3. At the age of 5, body posture is characterized by the trunk bent to the back and if the bend is to the front then to a very slight extent, with slightly greater angle of loin lordosis than of chest kyphosis, considerably greater height, length and depth of chest kyphosis than of loin lordosis.
