Abstract
The level of disability, along with the indices of the infant mortality rate, morbidity rate, physical development and health demographic processes is a basic index of child health, reflecting the level of economic and social well-being of the country. In the Russian Federation children with disabilities make up, according to various estimates, from 1.5-2.5 to 4.5% of the child population. In the structure of the primary disability of children in the Altai Krai the share of disabled children due to musculoskeletal system pathology in 2005-2014 varied from 13.2% to 26.0%. The level of the primary disability of children due to pathology of a musculoskeletal system increased from 5.7 in 2005 to 6.5 per 10 thousands of the child population in 2014. The gain of the intensive index of the primary disability of children due to pathology of a musculoskeletal system is caused by the increase in the disability level due to diseases of the nervous system (from 2.0 to 4.0 per 10 thousands of the child population) and congenital defects of a musculoskeletal system (with 1.1 to 1.6 per 10 thousands of the child population).
