      In idiopathic scoliosis, on the other hand, there is no identified cause.5 Idiopathic scoliosis is classified according to the age of onset: infantile idiopathic scoliosis, in patients between 0 and 3 years; juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, in patients between 4 and 10 years; and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) in patients older than 10 years.6 AIS is the most prevalent spinal deformity, commonly seen by a variety of health workers, school nurses, general practitioners, paediatricians, and spinal surgeons.6
