External Respiration Features in Preteen Schoolchildren With Scoliosis - Residents of European North

There has been conducted a spirographic study of 197 preteen schoolchildren living in the European North conditions. The work's goal was to determine features of functional state of the external respiration system in scoliosis of initial degrees. The study group included 111 children with scoliosis of initial degrees (I - II degrees), and the comparison group included 86 children without scoliosis. At the beginning and the end of the academic year by means of the computer portable spirometer MIR-spirobank, there were determined the values of the vital lung capacity (VLC), forced VLC (FVLC), forced expiratory volume during the first second FVLC (FEV 1), the average volume rate at the level 25-75% FVLC (AVR 25-75) and the peak volume rate (PVR). It has been established that in contrast to the children without scoliosis the children with scoliosis of I - II degrees had a lower annual increase of the values VLC, FVLC, FEV 1, AVR 25-75, PVR, the features of the preteen schoolchildren, what can in future affect their physical development, anatomical and functional progress of many body organs and systems
