Q

What does the use of the term kyphotic try to imply?

A

a normal thoracic or dorsal and normal pelvic or sacrococcygeal posterior curve

17
Q

What does the term hyperlordotic infer?

A

an increase in the anterior curve or the cervical or lumbar region

18
Q

What does the term hypolordotic infer?

A

a decrease in the anterior curve of the cervical or lumbar region

19
Q

What does the term hyperkyphotic infer?

A

an increase in the posterior curve of the thoracic/dorsal or pelvic/sacrococcygeal region

20
Q

What does the term hypokyphotic infer?

A

a decrease in the posterior curve of the thoracic/dorsal or pelvic/sacrococcygeal region

21
Q

What are the curve classifications for military neck?

A

a kyphosis or hypolordotic curve

22
Q

What are the curve classifications for humpback or hunchback?

A

a kyphosis or hyperkyphotic curve

23
Q

What are the curve classifications for swayback?

A

a lordosis or hyperlordotic curve

24
Q

What are the classifications of scoliosis according to the Scoliosis Research Society?

A

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

25
Q

What is often used to measure the magnitude of scoliosis?

A

the Cobb Method

26
Q

What does etiology of scoliosis mean?

A

the cause of the scoliosis

27
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

28
Q

What is nonstructural scoliosis?

A

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

29
Q

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

A

idiopathic scoliosis

30
Q

What does idiopathic scoliosis infer?

A

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

31
Q

What is the incidence of idiopathic scoliosis in the population?

A

1% to 4% of the population

32
Q

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

A

infantile, juvenile, and adolescent

33
Q

What is the age range for infantile idiopathic scoliosis?

A

from birth to 3 years old

34
Q

What is the age range for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis?

A

from 3 years old to 10 years old

35
Q

What is the age range for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?

A

over 10 years old

36
Q

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

A

left thoracic, male, less than 1% incidence

37
Q

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

A

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

38
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

39
Q

What is the relationship between curve deviation, incidence, and curve worsening?

A

the greater the deviation, the lower the incidence, and the more likely the worsen
