What is Neuromuscular scoliosis?

Neuromuscular scoliosis, unlike the idiopathic variety, arises due to weakened spinal muscles. Conditions such as polio, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy lead to muscle flaccidity, causing the spine to bend over time. Preventative measures, including polio vaccination and minimizing peripartum fetal hypoxia, play a crucial role in reducing risk. Since this condition tends to progress, early intervention and aggressive treatment are essential to managing its impact.
