Keywords: school scoliosis, deep back muscles, physical education, the “Gorbunok” exercise machine, scoliosis prevention, physical education lessons. Introduction and purpose of the study. One of the urgent problems of modern orthopedics is the prevention of scoliosis. Scoliotic disease is characterized by multiplanar deformity of the spine with damage to internal organs and body systems. Scoliosis is detected mainly at the age of 10 to 15 years. The hypothesis of the authors of the study is the assumption that the use of the “Humpbacked” simulator in high school conditions will significantly strengthen the deep muscles of the back in schoolchildren. The aim of the study is to study the possibility of simple and affordable prevention of school scoliosis using the “Gorbunok” simulator in a secondary school. Materials and methods. Simulator “Gorbunok”(inventors O.A.Korol, A.V. Fedorich), (patent UA 69579); an experimental group, consisting of 52 schoolchildren of senior and secondary school age with severe musculoskeletal disorders; complex physical activity, including systematic exercises on the “Gorbunok” simulator during physical education lessons; visual and palpation assessment of the degree of scoliosis and the degree of development of the muscles surrounding the spine. Results. As a result of the use of the “Gorbunok” simulator and a set of exercises in a complex of physical loads at physical education lessons during the school year, all 52 students improved their overall physical development. And in 24 students (49%), a significant strengthening of the muscular corset of the spine was recorded. In this group of 52 schoolchildren, there was not a single case of scoliosis progression. Conclusions. The practical use of the “Gorbunok” simulator in a complex of physical activities in physical education lessons for children of senior and middle school age shows an unprecedented result in terms of efficiency: children not only prevent the development of school scoliosis, but also significantly strengthen the muscular corset of the spine, which significantly increases the adaptive capabilities of the musculoskeletal system. - the motor apparatus of schoolchildren.
