Abstract
The article presents the biomechanical etiology of the so-called idiopathic scoliosis. The research was conducted in the years 1985-2013, but the importance of the observations connected with the so-called idiopathic scoliosis were completed in 2007 (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). All types of spine deformity are proved to have a connection with gait and with standing “at ease” on the right leg. Every type of scoliosis begins to develop at the age of 2 - 3. The article provides short information about new screening tests and new exercises in the course of causal prophylaxis and treatment.
Highlights
The article provides information concerning the biomechanical aetiology of the so-called idiopathic scoliosis [adolescent idiopathic scoliosis-AIS]
The results of causal prophylaxis ere excellent which means that the spinal deformity can be stopped or diminished when proper prophylactic exercises are introduced early enough, that is at the age of 3, 4 or 5 y
1) Last 28 years of Lublin observations confirmed the biomechanical etiology of scoliosis; 2) There are three types and four groups of scoliosis connected with causative influence “standing on the right leg at ease” and with “walking”; Figure 10
Summary
The article provides information concerning the biomechanical aetiology of the so-called idiopathic scoliosis [adolescent idiopathic scoliosis-AIS] The development of scoliosis is connected with the asymmetry of hip movement in gait and with habitual standing “at ease” only or mostly on the right leg. Due to the restriction of movement of the right hip, a compensatory movement is transmitted to the pelvis and to the spine causing scoliosis. Another influence is connected with permanent standing “at ease” on the right leg. Other influences are connected with abnormalities of Central Nerve System (CNS) and they are extension contracture of spine, anterior tilt of pelvis and laxity of joints
