Abstract

The article presents the program of complex physical therapy for students of 17-19 years with flat feet and functional disorders of posture in the frontal plane. The purpose of the research was to identify new approaches to the physical therapy of students 17-19 years old with flat feet and functional disorders of the posture in the frontal plane. For studying the dynamics indicators of the functional state of the body used the analysis and summarization of scientific and methodological literature and leading practical experience of physical therapy of people of all ages, with flat feet and scoliotic posture; pedagogical observation. For qualitative evaluation of the developed author's program were used: indicators of biogeometric profile of the posture, chest circumference, indicators of the functional state of the spine and foot, external respiration and functional state of the car-diovascular system, as well as methods of monitoring the status of VFA and parameters of walking quality on the DIERS FAMUS computer complex (Germany). The program includes three movement modes: lightweight, lightweight training and training. The program involves the use of electrical stimulation to strengthen the deep back and lower leg muscles, training in the pool with warm water 1.5 meters deep for training modified motive and sports games (polo, basketball, volleyball) to improve physical abilities, diving exercise and respiratory gymnastics of Strelnikova to enhance the functional state of the cardio-respiratory system, self-massage of the feet. It was found that after completing the correction program, 77% of students had improved posture characteristics. Improvements in sagittal flexion were observed in 32% of students aged 17-19. Strengthening of the "muscular corset" led to symmetrical activity of the muscles of the right and left sides of the torso, which is confirmed by the results of the evaluation of the symmetry of the shoulder girdle. Asymmetry of shoulders and shoulder blades decreased by 2.1-2.4 cm in 23% and by 0.8-1.5 cm in 38.5% of students. In addition, symmet-rical arrangement was recorded in 14% of students. Ex-ternal sign of posture (deviation of the spine from the vertical in the initial position of standing and sitting) decreased in 23% of students. Indicators of the skill of maintaining the correct posture and correction in space showed probable positive dynamics. The length of time of student's stay with improper posture during class de-creased to 44%. The problem of formation and mainte-nance of posture requires observance of the appropriate conditions and complex of preventive measures applied directly in educational activity. Positive shifts in indica-tors of cervical and lumbar lordosis, asymmetry of the shoulders, angles of the shoulder blades, and strength endurance of the muscles of the foot prove the effective-ness of the proposed conditions of posture formation and support of VFA in training program. For students with flat feet with functional disorders of the posture in the front plane uses the developed means of physical therapy, taking into account the disorders caused by the lowering of the height of the vaulted apparatus of the foot and associated with it functional deformations of the spine. As criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of physical therapy, it is recommended to use a complex of indicators that characterize the functional state of the muscles responsible for the orthographic position of the body, indicators of the biogeometric profile of the posture and the status of the cardio-respiratory system and walking quality
