Write about the deformities of spinal curvature.

Answer:

There are three types of spinal curvature deformities like kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis.

(i) Kyphosis ?round shoulders?: It is the postural defect in which shoulder are projected forward (shoulders are bent forward, the chin is downward and head is bent forward)

(ii) Lordosis: Lordosis is the problem of lumbar-spine. Lordosis is an inward curvature of a portion of the vertebral column. Here the vertebral column is curved backward and the individual leans backward while standing.

(iii) Scoliosis: It is the problem of spine in which vertebral column bends to sideward. Scoliosis causes one shoulder down and other is raised up.
