If you already wear a scoliosis brace... During the period of brace wear (sometimes up to 6 or 8 years for juvenile scoliosis patients), it is crucial to maintain the strength of the patient's back muscles and not allow them to atrophy due to the constant support provided by the external plastic shell.
The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, or a section of a line, connecting two points. In this lesson, you will use several different formulas for slope and learn how those formulas relate to the steepness of a line.o, the slope of the line segment (the slope between the two points) is m = 3/2. In mathematics class, you may memorize a formula to help you get the slope. The formula looks like this: This formula is really the same thing as we used before. The top says to take the two y-values and subtract them.
noun. The definition of a gradient is a rate of an incline. An example of a gradient is the rate at which a mountain gets steeper.plural gradients). 1  A slope or incline. 2  A rate of inclination or declination of a slope. ( 3 calculus) Of a function y = f (x) or the graph of such a function, the rate of change of y with respect to x, that is, the amount by which y changes for a certain (often unit) change in x.
