Is There a Link between Balance and Body Mass Composition in Children and Adolescents?

School-age children are particularly prone to disturbances in body composition, because this is a period of intensive growth and a period in which correct habits are shaped, especially in relation to diet. This is why it is so important to diagnose emerging disorders early so as to implement therapeutic or educational activities. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the factors of body mass composition and body mass index (BMI), as well as the balance parameters in children and adolescents.

Changes in Children's Body Composition and Posture during Puberty Growth.

The main goal of our study was to determine how the age of children, puberty and anthropometric parameters affect the formation of body composition and faulty body posture development in children. The secondary goal was to determine in which body segments abnormalities most often occur and how gender differentiates the occurrence of adverse changes in children's body posture and body composition during puberty. The study group consisted of 464 schoolchildren aged from 6-16.

Design: Cross-sectional studies.

Setting: The research was conducted in a primary school in the Trzebownisko Municipality, a rural area in south-eastern Poland.

The Influence of Body Mass Composition on the Postural Characterization of School-Age Children and Adolescents.

Introduction: In recent years a significant increase in the percentage of children with postural problems has been observed. It is necessary to focus on preventing the phenomenon and on analysis of existing postural defects.

Aim: The aim of this work was to assess the potential relationship between body mass composition and body posture in school-age children.

The Assessment of Static Balance in Patients after Total Hip Replacement in the Period of 2-3 Years after Surgery.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess static balance of patients after Total Hip Replacement (THR) compared with the age-matched, asymptomatic control group, considering the subject's gender and the time since the surgery.

Materials And Methods: The Total Hip Replacement (THR) group consisted of 55 subjects (mean age: 56.3 ± 8.

Change in anthropometric parameters of the posture of students of physiotherapy after three years of professional training.

Introduction And Aim: A physiotherapist's occupation requires high physical fitness and a properly functioning neuromuscular system. Working with patients is not always performed in accordance with the rules of work ergonomics. The aim of this paper was to verify the possible changes in the posture of students of physiotherapy after three years of professional training.

Functional effects of robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill thearapy in children with cerebral palsy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess gait in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy rehabilitated with the use of Lokomat active orthosis.

Design: A randomized controlled trial.

Subjects: Fifty-two children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

Assessment of the impact of orthotic gait training on balance in children with cerebral palsy.

The cerebral palsy symptoms are, among others, balance and gait disorders. The goal of this study was to assess balance capabilities in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy rehabilitated using Lokomat active orthosis. The experimental group included children with cerebral palsy, aged 6-14 years, independent standing, level II-III according to GMFCS classification.
