Evaluating Scoliosis-Chest Expansion
At Scoliosis 3DC we measure chest expansion because respiratory deficits associated with thoracic scoliosis can occur as a secondary response to decreased rib mobility. A maligned thorax in three planes -sagittal, frontal (coronal) and transverse (rotational) – is responsible. Normally, during inhalation the diaphragm contracts and flattens allowing for increased air volume into the lungs. [...]

Evaluating Scoliosis-Spirometry
Spirometry measures breathing or the volume of inspiration/expiration in ML. Results of a spirometry measurement are referred to as vital capacity (VC). Vital capacity is an indicator of lung function and lower than expected values of VC may occur when a thoracic scoliosis is present. Patients measuring Cobb >100º, VC may be reduced to < [...]
