 Abstract. This study highlights the importance of diagnosing posture disorders in elementary school children. The article presents the findings from testing third-grade students at a secondary school, which involved measuring the Mashkov rhombus and performing the Adams test using a scoliometer. The results indicate that 97% of examined students exhibit asymmetry in the frontal plane, and for 31% of the students there exist prerequisites for the development of scoliosis.
Keywords: posture disorders, scoliosis, Adams test, Mashkov rhombus, scoliometry, primary school age
