Postural stability of the young athletes of coordination sports with signs of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia

Abstract

Objective: researching of stabilometric parameters of primary school children, doing complex coordination types of sport and having the features of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD). Materials and methods: 36 children at the age from 7 to 11 years engaged in gymnastics and sports aerobics were examined. All athletes were divided into two groups, taking into account the presence or absence of UCTD signs based on results of a screening algorithm «Outward signs score of systemic involvement of connective tissue in children». Postural function assessment was carried out by the standard method (intermediate foot position) on the «Force plate ST-150». Results: athletes with UCTD were worse than their healthy peers across the majority of stabilometric indicators (p
