Neuromechanics of idiopathic scoliosis shoulders compensates the angular momentum of the pelvis (i.e. when the shoulders rotate clockwise, the pelvis rotates counterclockwise; when the pelvis rotates clockwise, the shoulders rotate counterclockwise). As scoliosis perturbs the architecture of the shoulders, spine and pelvis, gait also differs between patients and non-scoliotic people. Independently of the Cobb angle, the affected vertebra and the age, idiopathic scoliotic people have a larger rachis flexion range of motion and a narrower hips extension range of motion than non-scoliotic people. The range of motion for rachis extension, hips flexion, left and right lateral flexions are similar to non-scoliotic people. After arthrodesis,
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
