FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves examining feet of a child younger than 3 years. Static insufficiency type is to be determined by means of podoscope. Longitudinal foot deformity being found, static scoliosis is to be predicted. Transverse deformity being found, static kyphoscoliosis is to be predicted. Both longitudinal and transverse deformity being found, static kyphosis is to be predicted. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of early stage prediction.
