All parents hope that their babies can grow up healthy, and their care for their babies can be said to be meticulous. But as babies grow up, they may experience various symptoms, some of which can catch parents off guard. Now let's learn about the symptoms of scoliosis in babies?
1. Parents can observe whether their baby's spine is abnormally bent when lying prone. They can have the baby lie on the bed, straighten their lower limbs, and observe the direction of each joint in the spine. If there are joints that are not at the same level or protruding, it indicates a phenomenon of lateral bending.
2. If a baby develops scoliosis, there may be symptoms of unequal length in the lower limbs, so the curvature of the spine can be determined by whether the baby's two legs are the same length. You can also have the baby lie flat on the bed and observe if their pelvis is tilted. If there is scoliosis in the spine, there may be symptoms of pelvic tilt.
3. You can also have the baby stand with their back against the wall and observe if their shoulders are at the same height. If one shoulder is relatively high, the scapula on that side will generally protrude, which is one of the typical symptoms of scoliosis.
4. It is also possible to observe whether the baby's neck has a torticollis phenomenon, as torticollis can affect the contour of the chest, causing abnormalities in the chest contour. Occasionally, one part of the chest may protrude or be depressed, which is also one of the symptoms of scoliosis.
