Chapter 6, Problem 3RC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The result of shifting of the weight of trunk over the legs when the secondary curves of the vertebral column develop.
Introduction:
The vertebral column is not a straight and rigid structure. It has curves in different regions. The spinal curves are a cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and pelvic curve. The development of spinal curve starts from the fetal stage and completes when an individual becomes an adult.
