Scoliosis is defined as a three-dimensional deviation in the axis of a person's spine. [46] [7] Most instances, including the Scoliosis Research Society, define scoliosis as a Cobb angle of more than 10° to the right or left as the examiner faces the person, i.e. in the coronal plane. [86]
Cobb angle measurement of a scoliosis; concave side on the left; convex side on the right Vertebra and curves of the vertebral column. Cobb angle is a common measure to classify scoliosis. The greater the angle, the more serious is the disease but the smaller is the number of patients.
Preoperative (left) and postoperative (right) X-ray of a person with thoracic dextroscoliosis and lumbar levoscoliosis: The X-ray is usually projected such that the right side of the subject is on the right side of the image; i.e., the subject is viewed from the rear (see left image; the right image is seen from the front).
Kyphosis (left) and scoliosis (right) depicting iliocostal contact (a) Symptoms: Pain in the lower rib, flank, groin, thigh, or buttocks. Causes: Contact between the ribs and the iliac crest: Risk factors: Osteoporosis, hyperkyphosis, and scoliosis: Diagnostic method: Physical examination, x-ray, CT scan: Treatment: Orthosis, nerve blocks ...
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a disorder in which the spine starts abnormally curving sideways between the ages of 10–18 years old. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Generally, AIS occurs during the growth spurt associated with adolescence.
Normal person [left] vs Kyphosis patient [right] Scoliosis [left] vs Normal [right] RSP could be a symptom of some medical conditions, such as kyphosis, scoliosis or ankylosing spondylitis. [23] Kyphosis is a spinal disorder that contributes to excessive curvature of the upper back, [24] leading to a hunched posture and RSP.
Scoliosis is a common spinal disease in which the spine has a curvature usually in the shape of the letter "C" or "S". This is most common in girls, but there is no specific cause for scoliosis. [5] Only a few symptoms occur for one with this disease, which include feeling tired in the spinal region or backaches.
Kyphoscoliosis describes an abnormal curvature of the spine in both the coronal and sagittal planes. It is a combination of kyphosis and scoliosis.This musculoskeletal disorder often leads to other issues in patients, such as under-ventilation of lungs, pulmonary hypertension, difficulty in performing day-to-day activities, and psychological issues emanating from anxiety about acceptance among ...
