Unfavorable ankylosis of the thoracolumbar spine means that your posture is in an unnatural position stemming from your middle, lower back. This could mean that you are stuck in a hunched or side leaning position.
Levoscoliosis is the term that describes a spinal curve to the left. Thoracolumbar scoliosis is a curvature that includes vertebrae in the both portions of the spine.
Rotoscoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine is a condition characterized by a combination of scoliosis (abnormal lateral curvature of the spine) and rotation of the vertebrae. This often occurs in the thoracolumbar region, which includes the lower part of the thoracic spine and the upper part of the lumbar spine. The condition can lead to uneven shoulders, a tilted pelvis, and potential discomfort or pain. Treatment may involve physical therapy, bracing, or surgery, depending on the severity.
Thoracolumbar spondylitis can be referred to as lumbar spondylitis or cervical spondylitis. Thoracolumbar refers to the lumbar or thoracic vertebrae. It is a form of arthritis due to age-related disease in joints and the spine.
Scoliosis refers to an abnormal twisting of the spine. Rather than being in perfect alignment, the vertebrae are sometimes out of alignment relative to the vertebrae above and below them. When the vertebrae of the thoracic spine - the middle section of the spine where the ribs attach - can be seen to progressively twist to the left, the condition is called levoscoliosis.
Yes. It is a single word. Rather than identifying either the thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine, it indicates a more general region including both areas.
The roto component of the thoracolumbar region refers to the rotational movement and stability of the spine at the thoracic and lumbar junctions. This area is crucial for allowing the trunk to twist and turn while maintaining postural support. The thoracolumbar fascia and surrounding muscles, such as the obliques and multifidus, play important roles in facilitating this rotation and ensuring spinal integrity during movement. Proper function of these components is essential for activities that require torsional strength and flexibility.
During Ankylosing Spondylitis the immune system is attacking your joints and spine(sometimes just the spine) and what it makes the spine do is a thing called ankylosis where the bones fuse together. Basically, your spine is fusing together. It causes extreme pain as the fusing happens and flexibility in the spine is greatly reduced. Other symptoms can include pain in the joints and in the back and other muscles. Plantar Faciitis (bottom of the foot pain) is also common with this disease. Some people get a hunchback because that is the possition those vertebrae in their spine fused in.
An aponeurosis is a large sheet of tendon. It depends on which one you are referring to as to origin and insertion. The thoracolumbar aponeurosis, for example, has many insertions, mainly on the latissimus dorsi muscle and its main origin is the spine and sacrum.
no it is an invertebrate - no bones in its entire body!
ur spine!!!!!
It'll bend it irreversibly, as well your entire skeleton.
