摘要：Purpose: World Health Organization defines health as a good physical,mental and social state.Knowing very well the morpho-functional particularities of each school age group,the physical therapist may solve one of the main tasks of the physical therapy treatment represented by the training and the maintaining of a correct body attitude.When,due to functional or pathological cases,attitude or morphological (structural) deficiencies occur,physical therapy is required to contribute to their correction.This study seeks to highlight the effectiveness of the prophylaxis as a method for early detection,prevention and recovery of physical light deficiencies that occur in school age children.Physical deficiencies are common in early school aged children and their early detection can lead to full functional recovery through well composed physical therapy programs.Prophylaxis programs that have as main component physical exercise help in obtaining a better body tonus even in deficiencies case that require a longer period of time for recovery.Methods: Following the somatoscopic examination,the results revealed that most of the pupils have a harmonious growing and development and a correct body attitude.Nevertheless some children have light,moderate or accentuated physical and organic disabilities.Besides somatoscopic examination and anthropometric measurements,we also used the lead line exam and the drawing with the dermatographic pencil of the spinous apophysis.Physical deficiencies considered light and in an early stage are represented by global attitude deficiency of the whole body or only a certain segments.Uncorrected in time,light deficiencies get worse and become medium deficiencies.Action of screening is carefully controlled and monitored at the beginning of each school year in conjunction with school environment.For this study the number of children selected through triage performed by school was 20 (10 girls and 10 boys).Results: The data derived from measuring the following parameters were compared: thoracic perimeters in both complete inspire and expire and the degree of physical disability.There is a difference between postural relaxed body - uncontrolled and the same body in controlled positions.From a biomechanical point of view,the correct orthostatic position is maintained with minimal power and nervous consumption.Regarding the somatic aspect,the accurate posture is characterized by the positioned orientation of the segments corresponding to this function (physiological curvature,upper limbs in a slight flexion).Applying statistics analysis using t test for independent samples,data showed out that after treatment the following parameters had no statistical significance: thoracic perimeters in inspire (t = 0.22) and in expire (t = 0.24).Also,it was noted that the recovery of the curve (t = 2.59) had statistical significance at a significance threshold of p <0.05.Conclusions: Screening in school aged children is of major importance in detecting and correcting physical deficiencies and parents and children must be aware of the importance of preventive factors that help children in maintaining a right attitude in classroom.Programs to detect and recover any deficiencies must be established by qualified personnel,doctors and physical therapists.
