Scoliosis relieving any pain: Treatment for idiopathic scoliosis also depends upon the severity of the curvature, the spine’s potential for further growth, and the risk that the curvature will progress. Mild scoliosis (less than 30° deviation) may simply be monitored and treated with exercise. Moderately severe scoliosis (30–45°) in a child who is still growing may require bracing. Severe curvatures that rapidly progresses may be treated surgically with spinal rod placement. Bracing may prevent a progressive curvature, but evidence for this is not very strong. In all cases, early intervention offers the best results. A growing body of scientific research testifies
Body part as an object Body part as an object Body part as an object (BPO) mime gestures occurs when a mime artist or other individual substitutes a part of their body - usually arms, fingers, or hands - to be part of an object they are miming. Miming uses representational gestures, meaning they are used to convey a message to others without the use of speech. A commonly used example of BPO miming is demonstrated by an individual using their finger to represent a toothbrush while acting out brushing their teeth. In studying gestures from a psychological, psycholinguistic, and/or neuropsychological context, pantomimes can be
