| Summary: | The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the Yumeiho therapy course on the morphometric parameters of adolescents with posture disorders. Material and methods: the research was conducted on the basis of the Yumeiho Center (Lviv) during 2021. Twelve adolescents aged 15.4±1.5 years were monitored for 6 weeks, including 5 boys aged 16.2±1.6 years and 7 girls aged 14.9±1.2 years who had various posture disorders. All adolescents had different back shapes (hyperkyphotic, round-concave, flat), and 10 had scoliotic posture. Anthropometric measurements and spirometry were performed weekly at the beginning and during the Yumeiho-therapy course. Results: the effect of Yumeiho therapy was related to the improvement of posture in adolescents with signs of scoliotic posture, and in adolescents with back shape disorders. The variants of normal posture increased from 16.7% to 50% and normal back shape from 0% to 41.6%. At the end of the course were changing in the chest circumference from 84.5 (81.5; 90.5) cm to 86.0 (83.5; 92.5) cm, p=0.008, her excursions from 4.0 (3.0; 6.0) cm to 6.8 (5.0; 9.0) cm, p=0.005, vital index from 53.7 (50.2; 68.6) ml/kg to 66, 4 (61.3; 80.2) ml/kg, p=0.005, dynamometry of left hand from 17.5 (8.1; 27.3) kg to 26.9 (20.1; 40.4) kg, p=0.002 and right hand from 26.2 (12.5; 30.8) kg to 29.2 (19.4; 41.3) kg, p=0.002. By the end of the course, the differences in dynamometry between the right and left hands were leveled. Conclusions: research has shown that Yumeiho therapy has a significant effect on the morphometric parameters of the respiratory system, its skeleton, as well as the strength abilities of adolescents with postural disorders. |
