This document discusses scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine. It notes that scoliosis is often diagnosed in adolescents and can occur with conditions like cerebral palsy. Scoliosis is classified as either non-structural/transient or structural/permanent. Non-structural types include postural, compensatory, and sciatic scoliosis. Structural types include idiopathic, congenital, and paralytic scoliosis. The document provides details on classifying and assessing different types of scoliosis.

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most
often is diagnosed in adolescents.
Scoliosis can occur in people with conditions such as CP
and muscular dystrophy.
Most cases of scoliosis are mild but some curves worsen as
children grow old . Severe scoliosis can be disabling .
Especially severe spinal curve can reduce the amount of
space with in the chest making it difficult for the lungs to
function properly.

CLASSIFICATION
• Scoliosis are of two types :-
• Non structural (transient)
• Structural (permanent)
• NON STRUCTURAL SCOLIOSIS
• This is the mobile or transient scoliosis .
• Non structural scoliosis are of three types :-
1) Postural scoliosis
2) Compensatory scoliosis
3) Sciatic scoliosis

POSTURAL SCOLIOSIS
It is the common type often seen in adolescent girls . The
curve is mild and convex usually to the left .
The main diagnostic feature is that the curve straightens
completely when the patient bends forward .

COMPENSATORY SCOLIOSIS
• The scoliosis is the compensatory phenomenon
occurring in order to compensate for the tilt of the pelvis
.
• The scoliosis disappears when the patient is examined
in a sitting position or when the causative factor is
removed .

8. MI / PS-II / Presentation/22
SCIATIC SCOLIOSIS
• It is a clinical syndrome resulting from a minor painful
lesion in the muscles or ligament of the lower back .
• It is characterized by lateral tilt of the trunk and a
variable disability .
• It may occur in a case of prolapsed inter vertebral disc.

9. MI / PS-II / Presentation/22
STRUCTURAL SCOLIOSIS
• It is a scoliosis with a component of permanent
deformity.
• Structural scoliosis are of three types :-
1) Idiopathic
2) Congenital
3) Paralytic

IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
it may begin during infancy ,childhood or adole
