Introduction[edit | edit source]
Neuromuscular scoliosis is defined as a non-congenital spinal deformity present in conjunction with any type of pre-existing neuromuscular diagnosis.[1]
Etiology[edit | edit source]
Neuromuscular scoliosis is a common consequence of neuromotor disease. example of these include[2]:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Spinal cord injury
- Motor neuron disease, e.g. Spinal muscular atrophy
- Muscle fibre disorders, e.g. Duchenne muscular atrophy
- Multifocal disorders, e.g. Spina Bifida
