High pressures and asymmetrical stresses in the scoliotic disc in the absence of muscle loading

BACKGROUND: Loads acting on scoliotic spines are thought to be asymmetric and involved in progression of the scoliotic deformity; abnormal loading patterns lead to changes in bone and disc cell activity and hence to vertebral body and disc wedging. At present however there are no direct measurements...
