Summary The objeetive of the work was to deseribe therapy by the method of Katharina Sehroth and earrying out an experiment where eurrent ehanges of the spine shape were evaluated in symmetrie and asymmetrie isommetrie aetivation of upper limbs (element based on the Sehroth method) in people with idiopatie seoliosis. The presented work was earried out in a group of 5 adoleseents (girls with idiopatie seoliosis). For evaluation, the shadow moiré topography was used. The probands were monitored and evaluated in 5 positions: resting posture with both upper limbs lowered, resting posture with abduetion and exterior shoulder rotation and 90 degrees elbow flexion, standing posture with symmetrie eontraetion of upper limbs (leaning against both poles) and standing posture with asymmetrie eontraetion of the right upper limb, left upper limb (leaning against one pole). Changes of lumbar flexure were eompared in all the three basie anatomie levels. Based on the results we ean state that due to muscle eontraetion, the shape ofthe spínal eolumn ehanges (often signifieantly) in all three anatomie levels. The numerieal findings ean be used in physiotherapeutie praetiee in ehoosing the right therapy for a seoliotie patient. Therefore, this therapeutie element of the Sehroth method is stili a good option for the...
