The structure of postural disorders and spinal deformities in age and gender according to computer optical topography.

Since 1996 in Russia the screening of the child population is carried out using the diagnostic system TODP. The purpose of the study - to explore gender and age features of the postural formation. The most significant differences in the postural formation between boys and girls have been identified in the sagittal plane. A strong correlation between the development of structural scoliosis and growth of the body for both genders was revealed in the frontal plane.
