Scoliosis is defined as a partly-fixed lateral curvature of the spine. Its origins may lie in an injury, disease or other identifiable causes, but more than 80% of scoliosis cases are said to be idiopathic or unknown. This does not mean that there is no reason for 80% of cases, scoliosis, but only that the doctors do not know how to find the cause in these particular cases. Although a large part of medical research in the aetiology has been no conclusive evidence for a single event has been documented. Most mainstream scoliosis treatments therefore approach and treatment of symptomatic scoliosis. Some marker symptoms and signs of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have asymmetric shoulder height, waist line asymmetry or tilt, the trunk / pelvis and displacement of body length inequality. The same symptoms can be kept in almost all cases, scoliosis. The postural symptoms developed, together with gravitational effects, then to a further deterioration of the postural integrity, and an accelerated progression of the scoliosis condition. A lateral curvature of the spine caused compensation curves can be much smaller and can not be recognized. This can not be ignored in the planning of physiotherapy.
A functional three-curve scoliosis can be diagnosed in most scoliotic people. The ribs tend to rotate anteriorly on the concave side of the curve to the rear and on the convex side. This is most clearly visible when the patient bends downward, and a coastal depression (a valley in the rib structure) can be observed on the concave side and a thoracic gibbus (one hump) on the convex side.
The shoulder height difference can be observed in a vast majority of scoliosis patients. The height difference arises from the shoulder belt should be towards the rear above the valley and anteriorly on the rib hump. Scoliosis is a complex disease and if left untreated it can affect a decrease in the mobility of the spine, back pain, psychological problems associated with the interpretation of their own physical appearance and cardio-respiratory dysfunction.
