The Future Of Scoliosis Research
Im writing in regards to a recent Scoliosis Research Society review paper I found on the SRS site.
"Review Of Biomechanics In The Etiology Of Idiopathic Scoliosis" by VJ Raso http://www.ndos.ox.ac.uk/pzs/Group_2/Raso.html
The following was taken from that paper -
"There is a growing interest in the hypothesis that the mechanical control systems responsible for maintaining an erect spine are not calibrated correctly and that this causes initial spine curvature which is then exacerbated by biomechanical factors. This possibility has biomechanical overtones but as an etiological process it is rooted in abnormalities of the central and/or peripheral nervous system.
There is little hard scientific evidence to support the thesis that idiopathic scoliosis is due to buckling of a hypokyphotic spine but there are considerable observational data."
The reason I am bringing this to your attention is because my research provides an answer to the etiology of Idiopathic Scoliosis. Indeed a Scoliotic curve pattern was created when connective tissue initially became misaligned (Original Deconfiguration). This initial assymetry in the biomechanical configuration is responsible for creating Hypokyphosis and a new dynamic system known as Connective Tissue Deconfiguration (CTD). The location of the Original Deconfiguration within the biomechanics is responsible for the individual curve pattern. The difference between a C and S curve is whether Kyphosis initially deconfigured into Lordosis, or whether Lordosis initially deconfigured into Kyphosis.
To put it simply, a scoliotic curve pattern is created when the dynamic system of tilt, slide, tilt of the verterbrae becames hypoextended against both Lordosis and Kyphosis at full stretch combined with a twisting motion that creates a deconfiguration of connective tissue. I propose that the reason why Scoliosis progresses more often in girls is a matter of mathematics of CTD, combined with the phisiological differences between girls and boys.
CTD is not only a dymamic system that allows Scoliosis to progress, it also follows a strict mathematical sequence for unlocking connective tissue in each individual curve pattern. The dynamics relate directly to the same principles that created the original deconfiguration and can be calculated.
The future of scoliosis research lies not in surgical improvements, but in completely understanding the cause and effects of its origin in order to create a treatment that can truly reverse progression non-surgically.
Fortunately, I have tracked CTD for over 5 years, from the Original Deconfiguration to Rotation and beyond. I believe I have the ability to create a "3 Dimentional Mathematical Model Of Scoliosis Progression based on CTD" but I simply dont have the anatomy software to do it.
I've tried so many times to bring my research to the attention to the Scoliosis Research Society, but to date they have never taken me seriously. Im not going to sit quietly on the sidelines anymore.
I will fly halfway around the globe to the SRS if I have to and I wont come home untill they take this research seriously.
