  1. Spinal Curve Abnormalities

  2. Abdominal Planes • To Help you understand spinal cord curve abnormalities, you need to “see” the planes • Four Planes • Frontal • Median • Sagittal • Horizontal/Transverse

  3. What is Lordosis? What is the common name for it? • Excessive curvature in the Median Plane • Hyperconvex curve • Swayback

  4. What is Kyphosis? What is the common name for it? • Excessive curvature in the Median Plane • Hyperconcave curve • Hunchback

  5. What is Scoliosis? • Excessive curvature along the frontal plane • The curve is side-to-side • May be just Thorasic, Maybe just Lordodic or it could be in both

  6. How does the abnormal curvature of Scoliosis differ from Lordosis/Kyphosis? • The curvature goes side-to-side Lordosis Scoliosis Kyphosis
