Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed in adolescents. While scoliosis can occur in people with conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most childhood scoliosis is not known. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some curves worsen as children grow.
This sideways curvature of the spine occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. Treatment may include braces or surgery.
28 Σεπ 2024 · Kyphosis is an excessive forward rounding of the upper back. In older people, kyphosis is often due to weakness in the spinal bones that causes them to compress or crack. Other types of kyphosis can appear in infants or teens. These types are due to malformation of the spine or wedging of the spinal bones over time.
29 Νοε 2021 · ANSWER: Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine that can occur in about 1 in 300 children. In growing children, curves can progress rapidly, especially during the adolescent growth spurt. Growth plates, which are compressed, grow more slowly, resulting in progressive wedging of the vertebra and scoliosis progression.
18 Ιουλ 2023 · Scoliosis describes a measurable curvature of the spine in the side-to-side direction (an “S-curve” — see picture below). Most scoliosis cases are “idiopathic,” meaning the curvature developed without a known underlying cause. Idiopathic scoliosis occurring during growth and development may not be diagnosed until adolescence or even adulthood.
12 Απρ 2016 · Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine with rotation. It most often develops during the growth spurt just before puberty. If the spinal curve is small — less than about 15 degrees — then having it checked periodically may be all that’s needed.
10 Μαρ 2015 · Scoliosis is a three-dimensional change in the normal shape of the spine that leads to excessive sideways or forward curves. It most often develops in children during the growth spurt just before puberty. But some adults can suffer from scoliosis, too.
