Biomechanical Etiology of the So-called Idiopathic Scoliosis (1995-2007). Three Groups and Four Types in the New Classification

Karski Tomasz

The so-called idiopathic scoliosis [adolescent idiopathic scoliosis-AIS] is very common in Poland (till 8%) and in every county in Europe and in America. Many children are operated, mostly because of cosmetic reasons and curve more that 40 degree. Adults suffer because of spinal pain. All previous hypothetic causes about etiology were never confirmed, so causal prophylactics were never introduced. In Lublin, during the years 1995–2007 “the biomechanical causes of the development of scoliosis” was described. We introduced new exercises suitable for every type of scoliosis.
