Asia Pacific scoliosis management market is expected to be driven by the need to effectively manage scoliosis and demand for effective scoliosis management approaches. China, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, India, and Singapore likely to be key markets.
Scoliosis refers to an abnormal lateral spine curvature. It is normally identified in childhood or early teenage years. The spine's normal curves occur at cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions in the “sagittal” plane. Scoliosis is usually recognized as curvature of the spine in the “coronal” (frontal) plane. Degree of curvature is assessed on the coronal plane, but scoliosis is more complicated; it is a 3-dimensional problem involving the coronal, sagittal and axial planes.
In Asia, idiopathic scoliosis has been reported to be prevalent among two to three percent in screened schoolchildren at age 12. In Singapore, idiopathic scoliosis among nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and thirteen year-old female students has been reported to be present at the rates of 0.27%, 0.64%, 1.58%, 2.22%, and 2.49%, respectively. Further, idiopathic scoliosis was reported to prevail at the rate of 0.12% in six and seven year old school going children in Singapore. In 2000-2008, a Korean school screening program revealed a prevalence of 3.26%, the highest prevalence being observed in the ten to twelve year old group. In Taiwan, prevalence rates of 6.58% (curve of 5 degrees) and 2.4% (curve of 10 degrees) were observed. In Patiala, India, a school screening program revealed an incidence of scoliosis of 0.13%; most of the cases (43.7%) were paralytic curves caused by poliomyelitis.
Scoliosis may be idiopathic, congenital or neuromuscular. Idiopathic scoliosis is said to occur when all other causes are excluded; this type constitutes nearly eighty percent of all cases. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is very common and generally diagnosed during puberty.
Congenital scoliosis is a result of embryological malformation of one or more vertebrae and may take place at any point in the spine. Vertebral abnormalities lead to curvature and other spine deformities as one area of the spinal column lengthens more slowly than the others.
Neuromuscular scoliosis includes scoliosis that is secondary to neurological or muscular diseases; it entails cases associated with cerebral palsy, spinal cord trauma, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and spina bifida. This kind of scoliosis usually progresses more rapidly than idiopathic scoliosis and often warrants surgical intervention.
Treatment for scoliosis includes observation, bracing, exercise, chiropractic treatment, and surgery.
