- Flexion is a forward movement Extension is a backwardmovementBoth are extensive in the cervical and lumbar regions but restricted in the thoracic region. Lateral flexion is the bending of the body to one or the other side. It is extensive in the cervical and lumbar regions but restricted in the thoracic region. Rotation is a twisting of the vertebral column. This is least extensive in the lumbar region.

- Scheuermann’s Kyphosis. See Inside Kyphosis. This condition (also called Scheuermann’s disease) occurs when the front of the upper spine does not grow as fast as the back of the spine, so that the vertebrae become wedge-shaped, with the narrow part of the wedge in front.

Thoracic vertebrae Dowager's hump: An abnormal outward curvature of the thoracic vertebrae of the upper back. Compression of the front portion of the involved vertebrae due to osteoporosis leads to forward bending of the spine (kyphosis) and creates a hump at the upper back. Like most osteoporotic changes, it is often preventable.

scoliosis Scoliosis may be functional, structural, or idiopathic. Functional (postural) scoliosis usually occurs as a result of a discrepancy in leg length and corrects when the patient bends toward the convex side. Structural scoliosis is related to vertebral bone deformities and thus does not correct with posture changes.

Types of Body Movements For the vertebral column, flexion (anterior flexion) is an anterior (forward) bending of the neck or body, while extension involves a posterior-directed motion, such as straightening from a flexed position or bending backward. Lateral flexion is the bending of the neck or body toward the right or left side.

- Each thoracic vertebra is named for its position within the spine, from the first thoracic vertebra (T1) on the superior end to the twelfth thoracic vertebra (T12) on the inferior end. The spinal column formed by the thoracic vertebrae protrudes posteriorly to form the convex thoracic curve of the spine.

All About Thoracic Kyphosis: Forward Curvature of the Upper Back 1 The thoracic (rib cage) portion of the spine has a normal forward curvature, called kyphosis, which has a normal range (20 to 50 degrees). 2  This forward curvature is matched by reverse curvatures (called lordosis or sway) in the cervical spine (the neck) and the lumbar spine (the low back).ormal spine curvature. The normal spine, when viewed from the side, is not a straight line as it is when viewed from the front or back. 1  The thoracic (rib cage) portion of the spine has a normal forward curvature, called kyphosis, which has a normal range (20 to 50 degrees).

Thoracolumbar scoliosis overview Thoracolumbar scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that includes the vertebrae of the lower thoracic (mid-back) and upper lumbar (lower back) regions. This type of scoliosis is often congenital, which means that it forms during the third to sixth week in utero and is generally detectable at birth.hose with more severe curvature might require surgery. Surgery for thoracolumbar scoliosis often takes the form of spinal fusion with instrumentation, which corrects the curvature and stabilizes the affected vertebral segments.

Why Is My Arm Swollen? Clinical Pearls: Suspect thoracic outlet syndrome in patients with shoulder or neck pain and neurovascular symptoms. Cervical rib is bilateral in 70% of patients and can be seen on chest X-ray. The EAST exam may be useful in identifying patients with possible TOS and intermittent symptoms.

Thoracolumbar Spine Location Thoracolumbar Spine Syndrome. Thoracolumbar syndrome, also called posterior ramus syndrome, dorsal ramus syndrome or Maigne syndrome, is a painful condition which is theorized to exist primary due to facet joint issues at the junction between the middle spine and lower spine.he lumbar spine, on the other hand, is the place where disc degeneration and spinal arthritis are almost universal in human adults. The lower back must constantly bend and flex, carrying huge loads of stress which obvious wear down the vertebrae and intervertebral discs as part of their normal lifespans.

Baked Caramelized Onions Recipe 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1 tablespoon salt. * You can use any large onion variety, but the yellow (brown-skin) onions are cheaper and actually work the best. Some onions caramelize more quickly than others, and the standard yellow onion (brown-skin) actually contains more sugars than sweet onions.

Thoracic Spine Fracture Definition/Description. Most thoracic spine fractures occur in the lower thoracic spine, with 60% to 70% of thoracolumbar fractures occurring in the T11 to L2 region, which is the biomechanically weak for stress. The majority of these fractures occur without spinal cord injury.

Tilting of the pelvis â asymmetry /obliquity of the pelvis 96% of cases of pelvic asymmetry arise through a forward or backward rotation of a hip bone. Scoliosis in the lumbar vertebrae region causes the pelvis to twist. An orthopedist or doctor dealing with pelvic obliquity usually requests X-rays of the pelvis in order to determine the asymmetry accurately..

Kyphosis Center However, this information is about abnormal kyphosis, which is spinal curvature causing a hunchback or slouching posture. This spinal disorder generally affects the thoracic spine and sometimes the cervical spine. Kyphosis can cause back pain, muscle fatigue, and stiffness on the mild side of the spectrum.

Movements All movements are possible in each region of the vertebral column, with the range of motion determined by disc thickness and articular process geometry. The movements of flexion, extension and lateral flexion involve compression of the intervertebral discs at one edge and stretching at the other.

- ANATOMY/PATHOPHYSIOLOGY. The spinal (or vertebral) column is composed of 33 bony rings or vertebrae, named for the region of the spine in which they are located and numbered cephalad to caudal: 7 cervical vertebrae (C1-7), 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-12), 5 lumbar vertebrae (L1-5), 5 vertebrae fused as the sacrum (S1-5), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae.

What is Thoracolumbar Scoliosis? Thoracolumbar scoliosis refers to a type of scoliosis, a disorder that is characterized by the abnormal curvature of the spine, in which the curve resides in the thoracic and lumbar portions of the spine. treatment option for more severe cases is surgery. During thoracolumbar scoliosis surgery, the bones that are curved are attached to straight metal rods. Over time, the bones will fuse together and the spine will become straight.

- A fracture of the thoracic or lumbar spine causes moderate to severe back pain that is worsened with movement. If the spinal cord is involved, the patient may experience bowel/bladder dysfunction along with numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs.
