Meaning and Origin
Scoliosis refers to a medical condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. It is a three-dimensional deformity that involves a sideways curvature, a rotation, and a change in the normal shape of the vertebrae (bones of the spine).
The term "scoliosis" was first used in the medical literature in the late 18th century. It was originally employed to describe lateral (sideways) curvatures of the spine, but it is now used to encompass a wide range of spinal deformities.
The origin of the condition is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Scoliosis can develop at any age, but it most commonly occurs during adolescence. It affects both boys and girls, but it is more prevalent in girls.
