Excerpt

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorial disorder with more questions than answers when it comes to aetiopathogenesis. Research has focussed on six major areas: genetic factors, central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities, hormones/metabolic dysfunction, skeletal growth abnormalities, biomechanical factors and environmental/life style factors [9]. …
