Analysis of the state of the musculoskeletal system in young people

Abstract

The increase in the incidence of the musculoskeletal system of non-infectious origin is one of the urgent problems, including for young people. Pronounced disorders of the musculoskeletal system structure are the harbingers of diseases related to this group. These disorders require timely detection and correction at the stage of preclinical appearance. The purpose of the study: to analyze structural disorders among the examined young people. A cross-sectional study was conducted to study the state of the musculoskeletal system in young people (111 people aged 15‑17 years). With the help of somatoscopy, the features of posture, the shape of the chest, the position of the shoulder girdle, shoulder blades, pelvis, and the shape of the feet were studied. With the help of computer stabilometry, postural stability in young people was studied. A high prevalence of functional and pathobiomechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system among the participants of the study, non-optimal indicators of the statokinesiogram were established. The high prevalence of structural disorders of the musculoskeletal system is an extremely urgent problem for young people. It requires a comprehensive approach to its solution. In order to prevent the progress of degenerative-dystrophic processes at a more mature age, early detection and correction of disorders is necessary at the stage of childhood and adolescence, during which there is an active growth of musculoskeletal system structures. The results obtained substantiate the need to form risk groups at the stage of preclinical appearances of musculoskeletal disorders and diseases in order to develop and apply comprehensive personalized rehabilitation and preventive measures, which will preserve the health and working capacity of young people in the long term.
