structural scoliosis
There are three types of structural scoliosis :
primary scoliosis
- The spine is not abnormal at birth, but gradually changes during childhood and adolescence. It is often found in adolescence.
- The spine has lateral curvature and includes three-dimensional rotation of the spine
- Accounts for 80-85% of structural scoliosis
- The cause is unknown, but research suggests it is hereditary
congenital scoliosis
- A structural abnormality in the spine that occurs before birth in which one or more vertebrae are not fully formed or do not separate properly.
- At the same time, there are changes in bone structure and deformation of intervertebral bodies.
- minority
- This type of scoliosis can be associated with other health problems, such as heart and kidney disease.
neuromuscular scoliosis
- It is caused by lesions/defects in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. Because the body loses control of nerves and muscles, muscle tension changes and scoliosis develops, and spasticity problems or paralysis occur.
- Secondary nerve or muscle disorders, such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord trauma, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, and spina bifida (notch in the spine), are all causes of this type of scoliosis.
- The problem is that it tends to deteriorate quickly and is difficult to predict.
- The human body cannot maintain balance and control posture, and cannot even take care of itself.
- It is also harmful to health. Although it accounts for a very small number, the fatality rate is high.
