CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY All spines have curves. Some curvature in the neck‚ upper trunk and lower trunk is normal. Humans need these spinal curves to help the upper body maintain proper balance and alignment over the pelvis. However‚ when there are abnormal side-to-side (lateral) curves in the spinal column‚ we refer to this as scoliosis. Scoliosis occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such

2013 Extended Research Anatomy 5th Period What is Spina Bifida? Myelomeningocele‚ also known as Spina Bifida‚ is a birth defect in which the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth. It occurs when the bones of the vertebrae do not form properly around part of the baby’s spinal cord. What are the causes? The cause of this birth defect is not known. Experts think that genes and the environment are part of the cause. Women who do not have enough folic acid during

If you are a child and have scoliosis‚ you are usually going to the doctors every four to six months to keep your scoliosis in check. The treatment most commonly used for children are braces. The brace is used when you have a spinal curve degree between 25 and 40 degrees‚ and you are still growing. Though the brace can’t actually reverse the damages of scoliosis‚ it can help to prevent it from getting worse. ( Osteoarthritis Health Center Scoliosis‚ 2 ) Another option is surgery

in which the bones of the spine do not completely form. This results in an incomplete spinal canal. The spinal cord and meninges protrude from the child’s back and form outside the baby’s body (Medline Plus‚ 2016). Myelomeningocele is the most severe form of spina bifida. This results in weakness and loss of sensation below the defect. Neural tube defects are birth defects‚ of the brain‚ spine‚ and spinal cord‚ that usually occur between day 17 and day 30 of gestation‚ often when the mother isn’t
