Abstract

Objectives: It is recently reported that Myofascia Pain Syndrome(MPS) is a major cause of musculoskeletal pain. Abnormal spinal curvature, such as hyperlordosis, scoliosis, is the most important perpetuating factor of MPS but its pathology is complicated with variable interpretation. We reviewed on the definition, incidence, classification and clinical correlation of the abnormal spinal curvature.
Methods: We referred to internet libraries providing full texts of medical articles and studied the medical documents about abnormal spinal curve.
Rsults and conclusions: Posture is build up with dynamic reaction of gravity and individual strength. Abnormal spinal curvature is the result of postural compensation disorder caused by muscular imbalance, personal habit, mental condition, shape of body, leg length insufficiency, inadequate motions in babyhood. Classifications of sagittal plane disorder are Upper/Lower Crossed Syndrome, Kendall’s classification. Coronal plane classifications are handedness patterns, 4 body type of GCM, fascial compensation patterns. Correlation between abnormal spinal curvature and pain syndrome is denied by several clinical studies. It is suggested that more comprehensive interpretation method, such as fascial network, Sa-Sang(四象) constitution.
