Record 1 2011-10-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A spinal curvature or scoliosis that does not have fixed residual deformity.

CONT

A functional versus structural scoliosis should be differentiated by examining the patient in a forward bending position. While a functional scoliosis will disappear, a structural scoliosis will not, and may actually be accentuated.

OBS

Mobile scoliosis: seldom used term.

Key term(s)
  • non structural scoliosis
  • non-structural scoliosis
  • non structural curve
  • non-structural curve

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
CONT

L'attitude scoliotique est comme son nom l'indique, une attitude et non une déformation fixée; elle est parfaitement souple, disparaissant toujours en position couchée, ne s'accompagnant ni de déformation ni de rotation vertébrale et ne donnant donc aucune gibbosité.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Síntomas (Medicina)
  • Sistema musculoesquelético (Medicina)
