ABSTRACT
Since 1996 in Russia the screening of the child population is carried out using the diagnostic system TODP. The purpose of the study - to explore gender and age features of the postural formation. The most significant differences in the postural formation between boys and girls have been identified in the sagittal plane. A strong correlation between the development of structural scoliosis and growth of the body for both genders was revealed in the frontal plane.

The appearance of surface topography has opened up new opportunities for population-based studies of postural disorders and spinal deformities. In Russia such study began in 1996 and nowadays a large amount of statistical data on the pediatric population has been accumulated. Analysis of the postural disorder and spinal deformity varieties has allowed us to create a new classification of these disorders. Classification is based on three-dimensional estimation of the trunk and on the orthopedic division of structural scoliosis into 4 grades assumed in Russia.

COMOT technique was developed at Novosibirsk Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics as a pilot study in 1997 was used for screening for spine deformities in schoolchildren in Novosibirsk, Omsk and Moscow. Topographic screening was performed with patient standing in his natural free and easy posture. The criteria for scoliosis detection was an angle of lateral asymmetry (LA), calculated on the basis of topographic data, which was an analogue of Cobb angle. An additional criterion for structural spine deformation was an angle of scoliotic arch apex rotation (R). The analysis of responsiveness and specificity of topographic test (TT) at detection of structural arches of 10 and more degrees (according to Cobb) showed that they depend on the level of taken thresholds.
