RENDERING OBJECTIVE AND OPTIMIZING KINETIC PROGRAMS FOR SCOLIOSIS USING EQUIPMENT OF MOVEMENT ANALISYS

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to highlight aspects regarding the body weight distribution on the inferior limbs so as to render objective the youth’s deficient attitudes. The study’s objective is to compare the plantar pressure parameters in static and dynamic balance for subjects with scoliosis and healthy subjects. It is considered that subjects with scoliosis attitude have a different map of the plantar pressure than healthy ones. The presented data in this study are initials, the research being underway. Research is conducted according to the schedule: pretest-kinetic application programs- posttest. Postural assessment is performed with the purpose of diagnosing the mechanical loads deviations from the pelvis and spine in order to optimize the kinetic programs by basketball specific means. The introduction of the basketball means in the kinetic programs was made in order to diversify the classic exercises for prevention /recovery of the deficient spine attitudes. The techniques process of the basketball game, seen as a associated means of physical therapy, represents an innovative approach to postural prevention. In this regard, PedarX system was used, which measures the interaction between the foot, shoe and ground through sensors. The data transmitted are observed in real time on the screen, followed by an analysis of the data. The Pedar X system adds dates regarding distribution of the foot pressures to kinematics analysis. These pieces of information are particularly useful in evaluation of the dynamics movement, also posture. The results obtained showed that the shape of the plantar surface and of the stability area size in scoliosis subjects is modified compared to the plantar pressure map for healthy subjects.
