\n

Scoliosis severity is determined by a measurement known as Cobb angle<\/em> that\u2019s based on curve size, but a patient\u2019s angle of rotation (ATR) is also important because it shapes symptoms and treatment needs. High degrees of rotation are most closely associated with severe thoracic scoliosis and\/or neuromuscular scoliosis.<\/p>\n

Rotoscoliosis is severe because it involves an unnatural spinal curvature with a high degree of rotation. The excessive rotational component means the spine twists significantly so symptoms tend to be more overt and disruptive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to be considered a true scoliosis, certain parameters have to be met.<\/p>\n

Diagnosing Scoliosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Diagnosing scoliosis involves a comprehensive initial patient assessment, followed by X-ray imaging to confirm the size of the unnatural sideways spinal curve and its rotational component (1).<\/p>\n

Curve size is determined by a patient\u2019s Cobb angle measurement during X-ray, and a minimum Cobb angle of 10 degrees is needed to reach a diagnosis of scoliosis (1).<\/p>\n

Structural scoliosis involves an unnatural sideways spinal curve with rotation, making scoliosis 3-dimensional and more complex to treat as the spine\u2019s unnatural curve and<\/em> twist need to be addressed (1).<\/p>\n

Because scoliosis is progressive and progresses with growth, a diagnosis of mild scoliosis doesn\u2019t indicate where its symptoms will stay; proactive treatment is needed to work towards preventing progression and increasing effects (2).<\/p>\n

When scoliosis is mild, its effects can be subtle and difficult to detect, but as scoliosis progresses, the spine\u2019s unnatural curve and rotation is increasing, making symptoms more noticeable, including postural changes and pain (2).<\/p>\n

Scoliosis severity indicates the level of structural deformity in the spine, including how far out of alignment the spine has shifted and how much rotation is present.<\/p>\n

Determining the Degree of Rotation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A patient\u2019s degree of rotation is also known as vertebral rotation<\/em>, and it\u2019s mainly determined via imaging techniques that identify the level of twist in the curve\u2019s vertebrae.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Rotation is commonly measured at the apex of the curve and\/or in different adjacent vertebrae (3)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to understand how body position can yield different measurements. For example, when measurements are determined while a patient is lying down, rotation can appear less so isn\u2019t as accurate as standing radiographs (3).<\/p>\n

Patient position is important. The higher accuracy of standing X-rays and radiographic imaging also applies to determining a patient\u2019s Cobb angle measurement: the gold standard when it comes to classifying condition severity (3, 4).<\/p>\n

Imaging techniques for measuring the axial rotation include CT scans (computed tomography) because they provide the clearest axial views (3).<\/p>\n

MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) can be combined with 3-dimensional reconstructions to assess rotation without exposure to radiation (3).<\/p>\n

3-dimensional reconstructions are low-dose imaging systems capable of reconstructing the entire spine for a complete picture of what\u2019s happening in and around the spine; these can be used to determine a patient\u2019s Cobb angle and degree of axial rotation (3, 4).<\/p>\n

Common X-ray methods include assessing the position of a vertebra pedicle (boney stalk that projects from the backside of a vertebral body) to estimate how much rotation is occurring (3).<\/p>\n

Because treatment plans are shaped around a patient\u2019s initial measurements, including Cobb angle and the degree of axial rotation, the accuracy of these measurements are essential to treatment-plan customization and success (3, 4).<\/p>\n

Why is Measuring the Spine\u2019s Rotation Important?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s important to know a scoliosis patient\u2019s degree of rotation so treatment plans can be crafted accordingly.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis doesn\u2019t just cause the spine to curve unnaturally to the side; because there is a rotational component, scoliosis is a 3-dimensional spinal condition and needs to be addressed as such.<\/p>\n

A patient\u2019s degree of rotation indicates how much the vertebrae are misaligned horizontally, while a patient\u2019s Cobb angle measures the spine\u2019s angular misalignment (3, 4).<\/p>\n

Addressing the unnatural sideways spinal curve, but not its rotation, limits potential treatment efficacy.<\/p>\n

Rotation is also associated with certain symptoms such as a noticeable rib hump and\/or asymmetrical shoulder blades.<\/p>\n

Severe Thoracic Scoliosis<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Many cases of rotoscoliosis involve thoracic scoliosis. Scoliosis can develop in any spinal section, but it\u2019s common in the thoracic spine (middle\/upper back), the largest spinal section and the only section that attaches to the rib cage (5).<\/p>\n

When the thoracic spine is curving to the side unnaturally and rotating, a common effect is the development of an arch in the rib cage (one side protrudes more than the other) due to the unnaturally-curved vertebrae casing rotation in attached ribs (5).<\/p>\n

Severe rotation causes the ribs on one side to rotate backward while the ribs on the other side rotate forward (5).<\/p>\n

So thoracic scoliosis is associated with high degrees of rotation, and neuromuscular scoliosis is also associated with rotoscoliosis.<\/p>\n

Neuromuscular Scoliosis<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Neuromuscular scoliosis cases tend to be severe and include severe rotation due to a lack of muscular control; neuromuscular scoliosis develops because of a neurological or muscular condition interrupting communication between the brain and supportive muscles and ligaments that support the spine\u2019s alignment and stability (6).<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The more severe scoliosis is, and\/or the more it progresses, the more complex its treatment needs are, and a key factor in treatment efficacy is impacting scoliosis on every level, including its underlying 3-dimensional structural nature.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional structural issue that affects the spine\u2019s alignment, stability, and support, and a misaligned spine can cause effects felt throughout the body through asymmetrical posture and mobility changes.<\/p>\n

Because scoliosis doesn\u2019t just cause the spine to curve unnaturally to the side but also rotate, it\u2019s a complex 3-dimensional condition that requires the customization of treatment plans, and this is partially because scoliosis can range so widely in severity.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis is also progressive, meaning its nature is to become more severe over time, and as the spine\u2019s unnatural curve and rotation increase, treatment needs become more complex; regardless of severity or type, the timing of when treatment is started can be a crucial factor, so early detection and intervention is always the goal.<\/p>\n
