A 15 year old Taylor Gomes was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was 8. When she was 14, her curve had progressed, and her pediatrician knew it was time for her and her family to take a bigger step. It was time for a surgery to be performed on her, she had progress to 55 degrees. When the day arrived Taylor and her parents were confident as they could be. Several days after her surgery. Taylor has grown 2 inches after the surgery to correct the curve. Based on research scoliosis is best defined as
When looking from the side, the spine has a series of normal curves that helps absorb weight from the body. Kyphosis is the medical term that refers to the outward curve of the upper spine. In an abnormality of the kyphosis someone would appear to have poor posture with a hump back. Although it is not life threatening it does cause pain and a not so appealing appearance. In this paper I will discuss the types, causes, and treatments of kyphosis. There are three different types of kyphosis; postural
Abnormal spinal curvatures can either be present when born, appear due to a disease, bad posture or “unequal muscle pull on the spine”. The three different types of abnormal spinal curvature are scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis. Scoliosis usually appears in girls, during late childhood. Scoliosis is a curvature that is towards the side(lateral) instead of it being straight down. A way to recognize scoliosis would be by noticing if one shoulder blade is higher, or sticks

Everyone dreams of the day they will meet their children. From a young age, you can hear people saying the plans and desires they have for their future boy or girl. Our society is constructed in such a manner that everything operates under this male-female dichotomy. However, this system of operation is not always applicable. Cases where this is evident is when intersex babies are born. Intersex babies are born with genitalia that do not pertain entirely to either males or females, hence the term
that are both mild and severe; are all topics that'll be covered. Scoliosis is a deformation of the spinal column. The classification for Scoliosis is when the spinal column is curved sideways. Usually in the shape of the letter c or s. Unlike Lordosis, which is an extreme inward curve of the spine; or Kyphosis, a forward curve of the spine. Scoliosis's exaggeration lies in the how it's slanted. A few other subsets of Scoliosis specifically exist, including; Thoracolumbar scoliosis, which means

In dance, the term ‘ideal alignment’ refers to the body at the state of which allows the dancer to execute movement most efficiently and safely. Correct alignment can relieve muscle tension and stress, which can be greatly assisted through imagery. Eric Franklin stated that "Posture reveals our genetic and social heritage as well as the sum of our accumulated mental and physical habits." Posture constantly fluctuates due to one’s psychological state (Franklin, E 1996). As a result, dancers must be

Reproductive hormones induce estrous cycle. In female, usually, estrous cycle starts after sexual maturity and it is disturbed by anestrous and sometimes pregnancies. Different species have different length of estrous cycle because the duration of the luteal phase is different among them. Estrous groups including monoestrous, diestrous, polyestrous, and seasonal breeders have different number of cycles per year. There are three phases of estrous cycle which are the follicular phase, ovulation phase

Here is Leah’s story; Leah, age four, was at the mall with her mother Charmaine. While at the checkout the lady behind them said, “Oh how cute, everybody loves a midget” the woman reached out to touch Leah’s hand but she had pulled away, knowing it was
Lesson 5 Review Questions 1. Review the basic anatomy of male and female dogs and cats; be sure to note unique features according to species. For male cats, they have a penis, prostate, scrotum (with paired testes), which all aid in creating sperm and testosterone. Additionally, the most unique feature they have is that on their penis they have little spins and barbs that hold the penis in during ejaculation. For female cats, they have paired ovaries and a long uterine horn, which allows for
Imaging testing is also of great value when performing re-assessments of SMS based on new manifestations as the children grow (i.e. onset of scoliosis, lordosis, poor feet alignment), as discussed by Elsea and Girirajan (2008). The Pharmacology components, many times involuntarily overlooked by clinicians, take serious importance in patients with SMS due to the complex nature of the client. Understanding
Are contortionists really different from ordinary people? The truth is there is not really anything different between the two; except for the fact a contortionist is extremely flexible. A lot of people think that contortionists are freaks because they can bend it unusual ways, but they are actually just regular people. The reason why everyone considers them to be freaks is because there are many myths created about them that are proven incorrect. Contortionism comes with many myths and unique styles
The human spine is a medical marvel of sorts, which is not only responsible for helping us to move or lift things, but to bare our body weight, and preserve a normal body alignment. It’s impossible to exist without a spine. Scoliosis is defined as the curvature of the spine and although it isn’t specifically considered a disease, it is very serious complication resulting from a multitude of different symptoms with no definite known cause. Fortunately, with the passing of time, and development of
