Spina bifida affects the skeletal system primarily by disrupting the normal development of the spine and surrounding structures. The condition occurs when the neural tube fails to close properly, leading to varying degrees of spinal malformation that can cause vertebral deformities and misalignments. This can impact posture, mobility, and overall skeletal integrity, potentially leading to complications such as scoliosis or joint problems. Additionally, individuals with spina bifida may experience muscle weakness or paralysis, further influencing skeletal health and development.
