[Spondylometric assessment of the configuration and flexion-extension mobility of the spine in students].
An original method of assessment of the configuration and mobility of the spine in the sagittal plane with the use of axial spondylometer allowed reproducible and more objective evaluation of the spinal movement then previously employed methods. A qualitatively new assessment of the spinal mobility was achieved due to the introduction of mathematical indicators of elasticity, susceptibility and reshaping of the spine. The evaluation of the spinal range of motion in 167 students indicated prominent sexual dimorphism. The elasticity and flexion reshaping indicators in males exceeded of 17.6% and 21.6% respectively the females ones. The circular mobility of the spine greater then its distensibility is characteristic for males. In both sexes flexion surpasses extension of the spine from 157% to 215%.
