Role of functional and morphological asymmetries in the formation of posture disorders and their consideration in the organization of physical therapy classes

Relevance. There is asymmetry in morphology and physiology of human body. Location of internal organs, facial features, anthropometric body parameters are different. There was no researches about the connection of the asymmetric posture and functional and morphological asymmetry on the grounds of «arm, leg, vision and hearing» before. However, differences in anthropometric parameters on different sides along the midlines of the body can be caused by impaired posture and even bone deformities, because the load on the spinal column will also be asymmetric. Differences in muscle tone of the leading and non-leading limbs physiologically affect metabolism, trophic tissue, exacerbating the asymmetry of posture. Research aim. The purpose of research is to explore the involvement of functional and morphological asymmetries in the formation of posture disorders for timely diagnosis and correction in the organization of physical therapy classes. Research methods. The analysis of an individual asymmetry profile (IAP) was conducted using 43 tests, morphological characteristics were evaluated taking into account the leading and non- leading limbs, the state of posture was determined by the method of «Rhombus by V...
