Skolyoz
It is a lateral curvature of the spine that can be seen in the chest or waist areas. A corset is suitable for children with a 20-40 degree curvature and whose angle of curvature is increasing. However, laboratory tests, plain x-ray, tomography and MRI may be required to determine the form of the disease and distinguish it from other diseases.
Scoliosis can be treated with exercise, traction, corset or surgery.
In its detection, Adam’s test can be applied first. The person stands completely naked, his feet are together and his knee is extended, he bends forward by swinging his arms freely, palms facing each other. Here, the curvature in the spine is checked.
