Neuromechanics of idiopathic scoliosis the body to high repetitive mechanical constraints may influence the occurrence of idiopathic scoliosis. Cobb angle is a common measure to classify scoliosis. The greater the angle, the more serious is the disease but the smaller is the number of patients. One to three out of every hundred people have idiopathic scoliosis curves greater than 10° with an equal proportion of boys and girls. One to three out of every thousand people have idiopathic scoliosis curves greater than 30° with a ratio of eight girls for every one boy. Scoliosis is also classified according to the region(s) they affect. The
