About 80% of scoliosis cases belong to the group of so-called idiopathic scoliosis. Although the cause of this type of scoliosis is unknown, we know that asymmetric loading and gravity contribute to its progression. It has been shown that adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is eight times more common in girls than in boys. Also, in […]
Forward Bend Test
The Forward Bend Test, also known as Adam’s test, is a popular scoliosis screening test. It is a simple, non-invasive screening method that does not require any equipment and can be performed easily and safely at home. Adam’s test is a standard screening test used by medical professionals involved in the orthopedic health of children […]
Adult scoliosis
Spinal deformities in adults can have a significant impact on their quality of life. Adult scoliosis that appears during adolescence can be divided into three age categories: younger adults (18–30 years), middle-aged adults (30–40 years), and older adults (over 40 years). It is defined as a spinal deformity with a Cobb angle greater than 10 […]
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
The most common type of scoliosis is idiopathic scoliosis, which affects approximately 80–90% of all people with scoliosis. The etiology of scoliosis is unknown and is most likely multifactorial. Idiopathic scoliosis is classified according to the patient’s age at the time of diagnosis. Based on the understanding that the three periods of accelerated growth correspond […]
Juvenile scoliosis
The type of idiopathic scoliosis that appears between the ages of 4 and 9 is called juvenile scoliosis. The period during which juvenile scoliosis occurs is characterized by much slower growth and development of the child and, therefore, much slower progression of the scoliotic curve. Juvenile scoliosis is also the rarest form of scoliosis. It […]
Infantile scoliosis
There are several classifications when we talk about scoliosis, one of which is classification according to cause. It can be divided into two main groups. One group includes idiopathic scoliosis, where the cause is unknown — we can say that these cases are multifactorial and account for about 80% of all people with scoliosis. The […]
Opening of Scoliosis Center
On February 2, the first Scoliosis Center in the country was officially opened. Appointments are now available for everyone who would like to visit the center.
