The aim of the research is to determine the frequency, sizestructure, and possible differences of the spinal disorder in the sagital plane in boys from different socioeconomic backgrounds in Montrenegro. Research program included 160 male responedents, of which 80 were from urban of 80 from rural enviroment with average age of 13.6 years. Assessment of postural status of the spine was performed by using several combined techniques and methods of measurement: somatoscopy method, Adams test, Mattiass test, test of 'voluntary' muscle contraction and higher position test (Koturovic & Jeričevic, 1998; Radisavljevic, 2001; Jovovic, 2008). For all postural variables and their variations have been calculated frequency distribution of interrupted statistical series and the differences between the subsamples of respondents were tested using the chi-square test. The obtained results of the research indicate that the status of spinal disordersin frontal plane is significantly affected at the large number of responendents. Between subsamples of the respondents have not been confirmed statistically significant differences. It turned out that the largest percentage of deviations form the functional disorders, which can be successfully corrected with adequate application of physical treatments.
