Cases at the Boundaries or Outside the CoVIn Model
摘要
Lower back and/or sciatic pain can afflict patients with spinal deformities due to either idiopathic scoliosis or neuromuscular diseases (for example, outcomes of poliomyelitis, spinal amyotrophy, and myopathies). It should be stated that the scoliotic deformity itself does not explain the pain. These cases also fall within the CoVIn model - flexor framework. Typically, the pain appears decades after the onset of the disease when the deformity is stabilised. The spinal cord, roots, muscles, and ligaments have had time to adapt, but everything is limited.
