[Impact of motor activity on the musculoskeletal system of present-day schoolchildren].

Moscow schoolchildren having prepathological and pathological states of the musculoskeletal system (MSS) have been found to have risk factors leading to these disorders, such as no optimal motor activity, incorrectly chosen and purposefully unused clothes and footwear, and a text-book wearing manner that is injurious to the MSS. Most parents of schoolchildren are unaware of their children's having prepathological and pathological states of the MSS, the modes of their prevention, correction, and treatment; however, they are ready to obtain knowledge on this problem.
