COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AND ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA OF THE UPPER EXTREMITIES OF HEALTHY AND COMPUTER-DEPENDENT CHILDREN

Abstract

The anthropometric method was used to study the morphometric parameters of the upper extremities in 62 adolescent boys. It was found that computer-dependent adolescents have hypertrophy with the withdrawal of the little finger to the lateral side due to prolonged overstrain of the muscles of the right hand. In computer-dependent adolescents, there is an asymmetry of the trunk due to the forced posture in front of the computer, followed by the formation of scoliosis.
