Risk group of AIS is the key to its prophylaxis

Introduction One of the fundamental properties of typical AIS is its monomorphism. The C-shaped scoliosis is a “pure” 3D deformation, while S-shaped form consists of two 3D curves, etc. Mathematical modeling has shown a steady sequence of forming units of 3D deformation. Real clinical manifestations in the initial period of development of typical AIS are identical to changes, predicted by mathematical modeling on the basis of identified consistent patterns. Objectives To define the sequence of clinical symptoms and their importance in the transition of a healthy spinal column to “scoliotic” one, that will determine criteria for risk group. It allows us to develop a treatment at the preclinical stage of typical AIS, that is the basis for its prophylaxis.
