Control spinal shape and loading, growth? I Stokes

Control spinal shape and loading, growth? I Stokes

While scoliosis may have known and unknown cause, the pattern of progression of scoliosis during rapid adolescent growth appears very similar. So this webinar will explore the evidence that asymmetrical growth of the spine (progressive scoliosis) responds in part to imposed loading. That loading depends on gravity, activity, and the forces in muscles and other surrounding tissues. So is asymmetry of the spine (scoliosis) inevitably associated with asymmetrical loading? Does asymmetrical loading result in asymmetrical growth and resulting progression of scoliosis? This webinar will explore the evidence, and ask whether patients, therapists and others can influence the spinal loading and growth, and hence the outcome.
