Abstract
The biomechanical etiology of the so-called idiopathic scoliosis (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis [AIS]) is described in years 1995-2007. In article are presented the etiological factors, the new classification, and the methods of therapy and principles of causal prophylaxis. The etiology of AIS is strictly biomechanical and it is connected with the asymmetry of the movement of the hips and with function-“standing” and “gait”. The new knowledge about scoliosis is important for doctors and nurses. Materials: In the years 1984-2018, more than 2500 patients with scoliosis have been observed and treated. This group included children in 80% in age 4 to 18 and in 20% older patients in age of 40-70. In this group of patients there were children endangered or with first or advanced symptoms of “so-called idiopathic scoliosis”. The patients with various syndromes or congenital scoliosis were excluded in the statistic of research.
