FIELD: medicine, diagnostics. ^ SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with predicting the development of idiopathic scoliosis at applying more simplified techniques of investigation. It is necessary to test patients to detect their leading hand, leading eye and leading ear and calculate the coefficient of encephalic asymmetry C by the following formula: C=(Cr-Cl)/(Cr+Cl+Ca), where Cr - the quantity of tests at predominance of right hand, eye, ear; Cl - the quantity of tests at predominance of left hand, eye, ear; Ca - the quantity of tests at the absence of predominance of either right or left hand, eye, ear; and predict the probability of development of idiopathic scoliosis in patients at C being within 0.50-0.85 interval. ^ EFFECT: higher accuracy of prediction. ^ 2 tbl |
