Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed in adolescents. While scoliosis can occur in people with conditions such as muscular dystrophy, the cause of most childhood scoliosis is unknown. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some curves worsen as children grow.
the primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10-15 years old, occurring equally among both genders. This can also be past down through your family. I’ve researched and found online that “Strong evidence suggests that scoliosis runs in families. Nearly a third of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have a family history of the condition, and first-degree relatives of scoliosis patients have an 11 percent chance of developing it themselves”

ReplyDeleteKia Ora Varren, you're presentation was very captivating especially in the beginning where you visually showed us the difference in a normal spine, and a spine with Scoliosis. It's great to see you getting out of your comfort zone in terms of public speaking. Keep up the great work :)
ReplyDeleteKia ora Varren, your presentation was well explained and had great information for those who want to learn about those who have a spine with Scoliosis.
