Dr. Ra'Kerry Rahman is a scoliosis and cervical spine surgeon in Springfield, Illinois who specializes in treating scoliosis, cervical myelopathy, and radiculopathy. Scoliosis can be easily treated if detected early, so many schools and pediatricians check children for the condition. However, parents should also learn how to perform the forward bend test, one of the easiest ways to check a child for scoliosis at home by having them lean forward with their arms hanging down while looking for any abnormalities along their back or ribs. An x-ray can further clarify if scoliosis is present if found during a forward bend test.

Postural care 2.4.14
Sarah Clayton has worked in postural care since 1998. She co-wrote accredited postural care courses in 2004 using her skills as a qualified teacher. In 2007, her daughter Abigail was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 6 and has undergone treatment, currently in remission. Postural care involves gentle positioning to prevent distortions of the body and support health. It can help protect hips from dislocation and correct issues like chest rotation. Postural care is most effective when developed through creative, person-centered solutions tailored to each individual's needs and goals.

This document summarizes a medical case of a 1 year 3 month old Thai boy who presented with a limp and leg length discrepancy. Physical examination revealed limited hip abduction on the right side. X-rays showed developmental dysplasia of the right hip. The diagnosis was confirmed with ultrasound which visualized the femoral head. The patient underwent closed reduction under anesthesia and fluoroscopy followed by application of a hip spica cast for treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
Developmental Dysplasia of Hip (DDH) in Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
This document discusses developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome. It notes that DDH occurs at a much higher rate of around 10-22% in PWS patients compared to 0.1% in the general population, likely due to hypotonia and ligamentous laxity. The diagnosis and treatment of DDH is similar between PWS patients and others, relying on clinical tests and imaging. Early detection through screening and treatment including casting or surgery is important to improve long-term hip outcomes in these high-risk PWS individuals.

A 7-month-old girl was referred to an orthopedic surgeon after her pediatrician noticed asymmetric skin folds in her upper thighs during a vaccination appointment. Upon examination, the orthopedic surgeon found palpable hip instability, unequal leg lengths, and limited abduction on the left side. An ultrasound confirmed a diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Treatment options included abduction splints, hip spica casting, or reduction procedures.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia describes a condition where the hip becomes partially or fully dislocated and/or the hip’s ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) are misaligned. The condition primarily affects children but is also commonly diagnosed in adulthood. Treatment options range from simple bracing to extensive surgery and should be determined based on the patient’s age and the severity of their condition.

Jose Austine- Evaluation of Developmental Dysplasia of Hip
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of disorders involving abnormal development of the hip joint that can present at different ages. It results from excessive laxity of the hip capsule allowing the femoral head to dislocate from the acetabulum. Clinical assessment involves tests like Barlow's and Ortolani's to evaluate hip stability in infants. Imaging plays an important role, with ultrasonography being very sensitive for detecting abnormalities in young infants. Left untreated, DDH can progress to permanent hip dislocation. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent long-term complications.

The document discusses developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), previously known as congenital hip dislocation. It covers normal hip development, causes of DDH, diagnosis, treatment including the Pavlik harness, and prognosis. DDH can be detected in newborns through clinical exams and worsens over time without treatment. Early reduction and stabilization of the hip is important for recovery and prevention of long-term issues.

Congenital Dislocation of the Hip - PHYSIOTHERAPY
Congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH), also known as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), is a condition where the femoral head is displaced from the acetabulum. It can occur before, during or after birth. Girls are more commonly affected than boys. Causes may include hereditary joint laxity, breech birth position, or defective acetabulum development. Treatment involves splinting or bracing in infants to encourage reduction, and may require surgery in older children if reduction does not occur. Physiotherapy focuses on maintaining reduction, improving range of motion and strengthening muscles.
Developmental dysplasia of hip
Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a spectrum of disorders involving the hip joint. It is most common in girls and has risk factors like female gender and breech presentation. Diagnosis involves tests like Ortolani and Barlow along with imaging. Treatment goals are reduction of the hip, maintenance, and ensuring normal adult hip function. Early diagnosis and treatment lead to the best outcomes, so neonatal screening is important. A multidisciplinary approach with different treatment options based on age helps manage the condition.

Congenital hip dislocation
Congenital hip dislocation (CHD) occurs when the femoral head spontaneously dislocates from the acetabulum before or shortly after birth. It is caused by hereditary joint laxity, maternal relaxin hormone exposure, or breech positioning in the womb. Clinically, CHD presents with leg length discrepancy, an abnormal gait, or limited hip movement. Treatment involves closed or open reduction of the femoral head and maintenance with casting or splinting, especially in younger patients. For older patients or those with severe deformity, acetabular reconstruction procedures like Salter's osteotomy may be needed. The goal is to achieve a stable reduction and encourage acetabular remodeling.
Hip dislocation ppt
This document discusses hip dysplasia in children. It defines developmental dysplasia of the hip as abnormal development of the hip joint that can occur during fetal development, infancy, or childhood. Symptoms include a shorter leg on the affected side, leg turning out, reduced movement, and limping if left untreated. The Ortolani and Barlow tests are used to diagnose hip dysplasia in infants by manipulating the hip joint and feeling for slipping in and out of place. Diagnosis may also involve x-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to evaluate the hip joint. Treatment can include traction to relocate the hip joint.
Developmental dysplasia of hip
This document describes the anatomy of the hip joint, including the ball-and-socket configuration of the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum. It further discusses hip dysplasia, noting that it results from an abnormal developmental relationship between the femur and acetabulum. Risk factors for hip dysplasia include genetic and intrauterine environmental factors. Ultrasound is useful for evaluating the hip joint before ossification occurs, using static and dynamic techniques to assess morphology and stability.

DDH
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition where the hip joint is not properly formed or does not properly develop during fetal life or infancy. It ranges from shallow hip sockets to partial or complete dislocation of the hip joint. The goals of treatment are to reduce the femoral head into the acetabulum and maintain a concentric reduction to allow for normal hip development. Treatment depends on the age of presentation and severity, and may include use of a Pavlik harness, hip spica cast, closed or open surgical reduction, and osteotomies. Early diagnosis and treatment generally lead to better outcomes.
Management of Develpmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of hip pathology ranging from instability to dislocation that is present at or shortly after birth. DDH has an incidence of 1 in 1000 live births and is more common in females. Risk factors include breech presentation and a family history. Pathological changes in DDH progress from instability to deformity of the hip joint as the child grows. Treatment ranges from observation to bracing to closed or open reduction depending on the severity. Early identification and treatment lead to the best outcomes, while late or untreated cases can result in residual dysplasia or hip degeneration.

Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve to the side. While the cause of scoliosis is unknown, it usually runs in families and typically affects girls and young women more often and severely than boys and young men. Mild cases that do not cause pain or discomfort require no treatment. However, cases that are moderate to severe and with or without pain or discomfort require treatment which is determined on a case by case basis.

Developmental dysplasia of hip
This document discusses developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It describes the signs and symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment approaches for different age groups. For newborns under 6 months, treatment focuses on stabilization or reduction of the hip using the Pavlik harness. For infants 6-18 months, closed or open reduction is often needed if the hip is dislocated due to soft tissue contractures. Preliminary traction may help reduce risks of osteonecrosis during reduction in this age group.
Scoliosis.pdf
Scoliosis is a sideways curve in your backbone (or spine). Often, it shows up when you're a child or teenager.
The angle of the curve may be small, large, or somewhere in between. But anything that measures more than 10 degrees on an X-ray is considered scoliosis. Doctors may use the letters "C" and "S" to describe the curve.
Scoliosis - A Common Spinal Condition
Russell William Nelson, MD, based in Southern California, treats patients with scoliosis, a common spinal condition where the spine is abnormally curved. Scoliosis can develop during adolescence for unknown reasons or due to birth defects or osteoporosis. It is estimated that 2-3% of 16-year-olds have scoliosis to some degree, ranging from slight curvatures that are not concerning to more pronounced curvatures where the shoulders appear uneven. It is important for children to be checked by a doctor for scoliosis since surgery or other treatment may be recommended in some cases.
Evaluation of non seeing infant
This document discusses the evaluation of non-seeing infants. It begins by outlining visual development in infants and the causes of non-seeing, including prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal causes. The evaluation involves taking a family and birth history, examining visual fixation and response, pupillary light reflex, eye alignment and movement, and conducting investigations like electrophysiological testing and imaging if needed. The goal is to understand the infant's visual function and abilities and determine the cause of any visual impairment.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Causes and Classification
Dr. RaKerry Rahman, a cervical spine and scoliosis surgeon based in Springfield, Illinois, is compiling a manuscript on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with other medical professionals. AIS causes excessive curvature of the spine during teenage years for unknown reasons. There may be a genetic link, as 30% of patients have a family history of scoliosis. AIS is classified based on the location of curvature in the spine and is measured using the Cobb Method, considering a curvature mild if less than 25 degrees. Most teenagers with AIS do not experience pain or neurological symptoms.
Physiotherapy in Developmental Dysplasia of Hip
This document provides information on developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), including definition, risk factors, incidence, etiology, physical examination findings, conservative treatment options like the Pavlik harness, and complications. DDH is a partial or complete displacement of the femoral head from the acetabular cavity present since birth. Risk factors include breech presentation and family history. Treatment for infants under 6 months often involves applying a Pavlik harness to maintain the hip in flexion and abduction to facilitate reduction of the femoral head into the acetabulum. Complications of harness treatment can include femoral nerve palsy, skin breakdown, and bone necrosis.
Congenital anomalies of upper and lower limb

Scoliosis .pptx
This document provides an overview of scoliosis, including its definition, classifications, clinical manifestations, etiologies, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. Scoliosis refers to an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can be classified based on age of onset as infantile, juvenile, or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Diagnosis involves measuring the Cobb angle on x-rays. Treatment depends on the classification and severity of curvature, and may involve bracing, casting, or fusion surgery in more severe cases.
Escoliosis
- Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine greater than 10 degrees accompanied by vertebral rotation. It can be idiopathic or secondary to other conditions.
- Screening recommendations vary, but most recommend screening girls at ages 10, 12, 14, and 16. Monitoring mild curves under 20 degrees is usually sufficient.
- Bracing is effective at slowing curve progression and reducing need for surgery in many cases. Surgery is recommended for curves over 45-50 degrees.

Rop final
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding disorder affecting the developing retinas of premature infants. The document discusses risk factors for ROP including low birth weight and gestational age. It also summarizes various international guidelines for ROP screening criteria and follow-up examinations. Several promising predictive factors are mentioned that may allow for more targeted screening compared to only using birth weight and gestational age, such as weight gain, IGF-1 levels, ROPScore, plasma E-selectin levels, and OCT findings. Telemedicine approaches using wide-field retinal imaging are increasingly being used but cannot replace indirect ophthalmoscopy for ROP screening.

Using the Forward Bend Test to Detect Scoliosis in Children
- 2. RaKerry Rahman, MD, presently serves as a scoliosis and cervical spine surgeon at the Springfield Clinic, LLP, in Springfield, Illinois. In addition to treating scoliosis, Dr. Ra'Kerry Rahman excels in the treatment of cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy. Although uncomfortable and sometimes painful, scoliosis is a fairly easy condition to treat in cases of early detection. Many schools and pediatricians check young children for scoliosis, but parents should also learn how to perform a scoliosis test.
- 3. The forward bend test is one of the easiest ways for a teacher, parent, or physician to check a child for scoliosis. For the forward bend test, a child leans forward at the waist, with his or her arms hanging comfortably with the palms touching. As the child maintains this position, the examiner looks for any abnormalities or uneven areas along the back and ribs. A doctor may use a scoliometer during a forward bend test. If scoliosis seems possible or the examiner is unsure, an x-ray easily clarifies the results.
