The paper deals with the frequency, lagreness and the structure of the spinal disorders of the schoolchildren. The research has been done on the sample of 251 children, 116 boys and 135 girls of the three schools in Nikšić: 'R. Čizmović', ' B. Labudović' and ' M. Lajović-Lalatović'. The sample included the children of three growing periods pre-puberty and puberty and included the students of the fourth, sixth and eighth grade, ten, twelve and fourteen years old. Since this period of growth is one of the most important ones including sudden changing of the way and dynamic of living (Radisavljević, 1995; Ulic, 1995) the author points out the importance of preventing the prospective progression of the deviations in order to stop futher consequences (Pecina and Kristofić, 1983). The author has completed the evaluation of the spinal status by means of combined methods: method somathoscopy, Adams' testing, testing of the 'voluntary' muscular contractions and the testing of the posit ion in height. It is concluded that the major spinal disorders are those in the frontal straight-backed surface within the girls of twelve and boys of fourteen. The author claims that the major percentage of the disorders are functional ones that can be coorected by an approproate physical treatment. .
