Present day explanation of the clinical signs in the biomechanical aetiology of the so-called idiopathic scoliosis (1995-2011). The relationship between the "model of hips movement" and the character of scoliosis; three groups and four types. The causative role of "gait" and "standing "at ease" on the right leg".

The observations from 1985-1995 and till 2012 clarify that the development of so-called idiopathic scoliosis is connected with "gait" and habitual permanent "standing at ease" on the right leg. The scoliosis is "a result" of asymmetry of "function" - "changed" loading during gait and asymmetry in time during 'at ease' standing, more prevalent on the right leg. Every types of scoliosis is connected with the adequate "model of hips movements" [MHM] (Karski et al.

New clinical observations connected with "biomechanical aetiology of so called idiopathic scoliosis" (2006-2007).

Over the last few years, an etiological cause of scoliosis has been developed at Lublin, Poland. This is based on the findings of was limited adduction or abduction contracture of right hip, coupled to asymmetry of movements between right and left hip which influences growth of spine through "asymmetrical gait" and asymmetrical standing.

New conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis: effectiveness of therapy.

Background. This article provides basic information concerning a new conservative treatment for idiopathic scoliosis, with appropriate asymmetric flexion-rotation exercises and special redressing positions. Material and method.

"Contracture syndrome" in newborns and infants according to Prof. Hans Mau as an explanation of the "geography" and certain clinical features of idiopathic scoliosis.

Background. Many malformations and dysfunctions of the skeletal system are connected with the "contracture syndrome" described by Prof. Hans Mau.
