Definition
Scoliosis is a sideaway curvature of the spine that occurs
most often during the growth spurt just before puberty.
While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as
muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknow.
Pathology
this spinal deformity called scoliosis
originates from the presencce of weak
nerves or even paralysis that attracts the
segment the vertebrae in a normal line
whose shape is like a ruler or straight. But,
because of one thing, including sloping sitting
habits, making a part of the nerves that
work become weak. If this continues to be a
habit, then the nerve will even die. This result
in an imbalance of pull on the vertebrae .
Therefore, the spine suffering from scoliosis
is bent or like the letter S or even letter C.
Etiology
Structural: Non structural:
• Idiopatic (75% - 85%). • Back muscle spasm
More in women, such • Asymmetric posture
as muscle weakness on habitual
one side. • Leg lenth discrepancy
• Neuromuscular (15% -
20%). Such as Cerebral
Palsy, polio, and
traumatic paraplegic.
• Osteopatic :
Congenital
(hemivetebral)
Symptoms

 Uneven shoulders
One shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other
Uneven waist
One hip higher than the other
Muscle weakness
Numbness
Abnormal refleks
Causes
 Genetic conditions
 Neuromuscular conditions
 Birth defects
 Injuries to or infectons of the spine
Risk Factors
 Age
 Sex

 Treatment
Ball exercise

Take a kneeling position on the mat. Hold a large exercise ball on

your pelvis, on the convex side of your arch. Lean sideways on
the ball until the side of your body touches the ball between the
pelvis and the bottom of the rib cage. Balance your body with
both feet and lower your hands, while stretching your upper
arms to deepen the stretch.

Hold the position for 20-30 seconds as many as 2-3 reps. This
exercise can be done every day.
 Perform forward bend exercises.

Begin this exercise with your knees on the mat and your
stomach on top of a large exercise ball. Allow yourself to fall
forward over the ball in a relaxed position. From this position,
ease yourself up to the point where your back is
perpendicular to the ball itself. Hold your arms and legs out
straight so that they, too, run perpendicular to the ball.

Hold this position for a count of 10 and do 10 repetitions.

 bent-over raise
stretches

Start this exercise by sitting on top of a large exercise ball with your
feet flat on the floor in front of your for balance. Bend over so that
your body appears to be in the shape of a table and you can wrap
your arms around the middle of your thighs. Pick up the light hand
weights in your hands and, keeping your elbows soft and your arms
close to your sides, pick up the light weights until they are parallel
with the ground, then lower them back down again.

For this exercise, you can do three sets of 10 reps. You can perform
this exercise daily.
