Summary/Abstract: Deviations from the correct body posture and spinal deformities are a serious medical and social problem. In many cases, lack of motor activity and muscle weakness are the causes of these problems. In our opinion, the attitude of parents is the basis for the prevention of poor body posture and spinal deformities. Also regular physical education and sports classes and extracurricular sports activities are the key to the proper motor development of students and for resistance to spinal deformities. This scientific publication examines the opinion and awareness of parents of 11-12 year-old students about the problem of spinal deformities and the known means and methods for their prevention. A questionnaire method with closed and opened questions was used to establish the parents' opinion. The purpose of the study is to examine the attitude and level of awareness of parents of 11-12 year-old students regarding spinal deformities and their prevention.
