Characteristics of the support-spring capacities of foot of primary school age children with hearing impairments in the process of physical education

Abstract

On the basis of data of scientific and methodological literature, it is determined that the human locomotorium has many functions, the most important of which are the support, protection and movement of the body. The foot as one of the most important bodies of human walking in the conditions of natural locomotives performs not only the function of support, but also provides the organization of the spring interactions of the body with the surface. The development of the locomotorium in pupils is influenced by various factors and is subjected to certain changes, including pathological ones. Objective. To study the morphological features of junior school age children with hearing impairments in the process of physical education as a prerequisite for the development of technology for the formation of static dynamical posture. Methods. Analysis of special scientific and methodological literature, documentary materials, pedagogical observations and experiment using anthropometry, video­ metry, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. In the course of the study, an increase in the number of junior school age children with posture disorders was established. It is necessary to note the prevalence of stinginess in this contingent of children. In the process of formation of the support-spring function of the pupils' foot, a complicated dynamics of the formation of their lower extremities occurs. The obtained results indicate the absence of statistically significant differences between the indices of support-spring characteristics of the foot of children aged 7-10 years with hearing impairment, depending on gender.
