FIELD: medicine, juvenile neurology.
SUBSTANCE: one should fulfill osteopathic survey to detect the vertebrae of incorrect state and pathological mobility at the level of C2-C3 or C3-C4 or C2-C3-C4 due to carrying out successive palpation of cervical vertebrae from the bottom upwards from C7 up to C1. It is necessary to detect dystonia and asymmetry of muscular tonicity due to palpating the muscles of posterior cervical group, the muscles of craniovertebral transition and suprahyoid muscles. It is important to determine the shift of hyoid bone against the bones of cranial bottom - wedge, temporal and occipital bones, detect the lingual deviation, the disorder in the shape of mandibula and maxilla - the ratios of their longitudinal and transverse size, gothic palate, the alteration of occlusion interrelations of both jaws in the form of the increased sagittal fissure between maxilla and mandibula, deep overlapping of incisors, deviation of dental crown towards lingual side after their teething, due to visual and palpation survey. In case of the detected deviations mentioned one should diagnose the availability of logopaedic, orthodontic and otolaryngological disorders. The innovation enables to predict neurological, orthopedic, orthodontic and logopaedic problems in children at natal trauma of cervical department of vertebral column.
EFFECT: higher accuracy of earlier diagnostics.
