Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity, but for a long time only two-dimensional references have been used. Even now, the horizontal plane is less studied because of a lack of precise evaluation. Definitions and classifications are now evolving toward a better understanding and imaging ...
·cause of idiopathic scoliosis is, by definition, not known1,2 ·theories of etiology include ogenetic considerations omelatonin pathway deficiency oelastic fiber disorganization in the ligamentum flavum oother occult connective tissue metabolic or structural abnormalities ...
particularly the cartilage matrisome, in AIS pathogenesis. This model focuses attention on the IVD due to its role in withstanding and dissipating the forces of spinal growth. Radiographic studies of the spine in patients with progressive scoliosis are consistent with this model...
Idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents refers to the development of unexplained scoliosis during childhood and adolescence. Chinese medicine rehabilitation is one of the effective methods to prevent its occurrence and improve clinical symptoms.
Clinical diagnosis and progression monitoring of scoliosis rely on the radiographic Cobb spine measurement. However, frequent use of X-rays is not viable due to the potential harm from cumulative radiation exposure, especially in patients who require regular curve monitoring (Himmetoglu et al., 2015...
What Is Scoliosis? - Definition, Causes, Symptoms & Treatment from Chapter 17 / Lesson 49 8.9K Scoliosis is a condition where the spine is curved rather than straight. Many people suffer from mild to severe scoliosis. Read this lesson to find out what causes it, what the symptoms are,...
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a deformation of the spine and it is routinely diagnosed using posteroanterior and lateral radiographs. The Risser sign used in skeletal maturity assessment is commonly accepted in AIS patient's management. However, the Risser sign is subject to inter-observer...

Considering that knowledge about lateral abdominal muscles (LAM) in idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is still very limited, the aims of this study were: (a) to compare LAM thickness and elasticity between C-shaped IS and non-scoliotic population; and (b) to compare LAM thickness and elasticity betwe...
