The article teiis about problems of scoliosis. Scoliosis often lea s to the serious stuctural changes of supportmotor apparatus and breath functions abnormalities.

There were examined 51 schoolchildren at the age 7–10 y.o. with scoliosis of I–II degree, living in the circumpolar region. . It has been determined that functional abilities of the system of external respiration children that had scoliosis were preserved by their insignifi cant decrease in girls at the age 7–11 y.o. Pulmonar ventylation function in children with scoliosis is described by a decrease in speed of air fl ow in a bronchial tree..
