17
Q

What are the curve classifications for humpback or hunchback

A

A kyphosis or hyperlordotic curve

18
Q

What are the curve classifications for swayback

A

19
Q

What are the classifications of scoliosis according to the scoliosis research society

A

Magnitude, location, direction, etiology, structural scoliosis, and non-structural scoliosis

20
Q

What does the magnitude of scoliosis refer to

A

The length and angle of the curve deviation on x-ray

21
Q

What is often used to measure the magnitude of scoliosis

A

The Cobb Method

22
Q

What does the location of scoliosis infer

A

The location on the vertebral segment forming the apex of the curve deviation

23
Q

What does the direction of scoliosis refer to

A

The side the convexity of the curve will bend toward

24
Q

What does etiology of scoliosis mean

A

The cause of the scoliosis

25
Q

What is structural scoliosis

A

A more radical form of scoliosis, it may worsen, associated with structural deformities of the vertebra or intervertebral disc, frequently has a fixed angle of trunk rotation

26
Q

What is nonstructural scoliosis

A

A mild form of scoliosis, unlikely to worsen, not associated with structural deformities of the vertebral or intervertebral disc and lacks a fixed angle of trunk rotation

27
Q

What are some of the classifications of scoliosis based on etiology

A

Congenital, neuromuscular, neurofibromatosis, nerve root irritation, idiopathic

28
Q

What is the classification of scoliosis that is unique to the individual patient

A

Idiopathic scoliosis

29
Q

What does idiopathic scoliosis infer

A

The scoliosis is unique to the individual, it has no known cause, unknown etiology

30
Q

What is the incidence of idiopathic scoliosis in the population

A

1% - 4% of the population

31
Q

Based on the age of onset, what are the types of idiopathic scoliosis

A

Infantile, juvenile, adolescent

32
Q

What is the age range for infantile idiopathic scoliosis

A

From birth to 3 years old

33
Q

What is the age range for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis

A

From 3 years to 10 years

34
Q

What is the age range for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

A

Over 10 years old

35
Q

Identify curve direction, location, gender bias, and incidence of infantile idiopathic scoliosis

A

Left thoracic, male, less than 1% incidence

36
Q

Identify the curve direction, location, gender bias and incidence of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis

A

Right thoracic, females over 6 years old, and 12-21% incidence

37
Q

Identify curve direction, location, gender bias and incidence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

A

Right thoracic or right thoracic and left lumbar, females, and 80% incidence
