Sex.
Out of the 1000 cases in the Appendix there are
122 males and 878 females. Messrs. Bradford & Lovett,
in their " Orthopaedic Surgery," 1890, have collected 2342
cases of Lateral Curvature, of which 363 were males and
1979 females that is, a percentage of 15 '5 males to 84*5
females, which is to be compared with my percentage of
122 males to 87*8 females. The much larger proportion
of girls than of boys afflicted, is due to the fact that girls
and women, in addition to being much handicapped by
their dress, do not have, as a rule, one-fourth of the amount
of physical exercise, such as cricket, football, hockey, etc.,
allowed to and enjoyed by boys and men.
The muscles
of girls either never develop as they ought, or become
weak

lessons, they have not sufficient strength to hold themselves erect, and to restore the equilibrium of their curved

initial cause of most cases of Lateral and other curvatures not due to diseased bone or Infantile Paralysis.
For many years past I have made it a rule, when
examining for Lateral Curvature, after having noted the
kind and degree of curvature present, to let the patient
sit down and write his or her name, and to observe the
posture then assumed nine times out of ten, the patient
will have placed himself or herself in a posture corresponding with the form of the curvature, except that
usually it is highly exaggerated.
In most early cases,
where, as we shall see later on, the whole spine is usually
convex to the left, this is found to be exactly the posture
of writing

together the 176 cases who were delicate, the 59 cases

affections, and the 27 cases born in the Tropics, we total
up 303 cases (30' 3 per cent.), which were directly due
to a general weakness of the muscular system; and if to
these are added the 203 cases attributed to "rapid growth,"
which always presupposes a general ill-development of
the muscles, we find that upwards of 50 per cent, (exactly
506 cases) suffered from muscular weakness. Again, want
of development of the muscles is always associated with
a corresponding weakness or softness of the bones to which
they are attached. Mr. Ernest Payne, Honorary Skiagraphist to the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital,

be seen that Infantile Paralysis is credited with only 4

a statistical jioint of view, because I left out of the 1000

deformities, that it did not seem right to include them with
ordinary Lateral Curvature.

Curvature may be directly due to congenital malformation

of

deformity
as soon as osseous deformity is present, not
only do the individual vertebrae become wedge-shaped and
misshapen with the attached ribs, but the actual bony
fibres or spiculse of the spongy tissue of the bodies of
the A^ertebrse participate in the deformation, and show
in section, from above down, a whorl or twisting, corresponding to the rotation deformity of the whole adjacent
group of vertebras. Some surgeons still deny that Lateral
Curvature exists unless associated with osseous deformity
of the vertebrae and ribs, and they speak and write about
"weak spines" which "frequently pass into and become
cases of confirmed Lateral Curvature."
However, when
osseous deformity has set in, the case is now acknowledged
to be incurable to that extent by all or most surgeons.
Cases with osseous deformity differ from one another
according to the degree and the various forms of this
deformation.
I therefore divide all cases of Lateral
Curvature into two large classes, quite irrespective of
their causation and forms
(I.) Postural class or stage
viz., those without any osseous deformity of the ribs and
vertebrae; and (II.) Osseous class or stage viz., those with
osseous deformity which may be conveniently subdivided
for clinical purposes into slight, moderate, severe, and
extreme, according to the degree of osseous deformity
:

THE TREATMENT OE

present.

It will be readily understood that, in

any given

case of osseous Lateral Curvature, the ribs and dorsal vertebrae may exhibit slight osseous deformation with severe

osseous deformity of the lumbar vertebrae or vice versa.


There are six different well-marked forms of Lateral

Curvature, and I attach to each the number of each variety


in the 1000 consecutive cases given in the Appendix.

A. Curvatures with the whole convexity to the left


(ordinary letter C)> 523 cases viz., 523 per cent.
B. Curvatures with double curves, the dorsal (upper)
curve being convex to the right and the lumbar (loAver)
curve convex to the left (reversed letter 3) 329 cases

32 9 per cent.
C. Curvatures with the whole convexity to the right
(reversed letter Q), 72 cases viz., 7"2 per cent.
D. Curvatures with double curves, the dorsal (upper)
curve being convex to the left and the lumbar (lower)
curve convex to the right (ordinary letter S)> 45 cases
viz., 4*5 per cent.
with triple curves, the highest and
JE. Curvatures
lowest curves being convex to the left and the middle
curve convex to the right (ordinary Greek letter g), 28
viz., 2*8 per cent.
cases
F. Curvatures with triple curves, the highest and
lowest curves being convex to the right and the middle
curve convex to the left (reversed Greek letter ), 3 cases
viz., 0*3 per cent.
The normal anteroposterior curves of the Spine are
nearly always affected in Lateral Curvature, causing the
patient to stoop in many cases the whole spine is convex
posteriorly, with disappearance of the lumbar hollow,
which becomes convex instead of concave posteriorly
the result is that the head projects forwards, the anterior
chest, walls become flattened and the abdomen becomes unduly prominent. This typical stoop, which is so frequently
associated with Lateral Curvatures, has been described by
me for the last eight or nine years as the "gorilla" type
of the antero-posterior curves, on account of its similarity
to the normal shape of the ourang-outang and the gorilla.
viz.,

LATERAL CURVATURE OF THE SPINE.

The "gorilla" type

sometimes so severe, that it tends to


conceal the presence of Lateral Curvature, and I have often
been unable on account of this to determine the form of
the Lateral Curvature on first inspecting a patient's back.
Another modification of the antero-posterior curves of
the spine, occurs, with or without obliteration of the
lumbar hollow, with such an approximation of the anterior
and posterior walls of the thorax, that the trunk appears
to have been flattened from before backwards, and this I
have for some years described as "passed through the
mangle " type. Patients, with the " passed through the
mangle " type of stoop, often look as if they were good
chested when observed in front, but the contraction of
the chest-cavity is perceived at once if they are inspected
sideways.
The above two types are sometimes associated in
the same individual, when the result is most distressing yet
even in such a case, placing the patient in the best possible
posture will often, not only remove the undue prominence
of the abdomen, but also enlarge and unflatten the thorax.

greatest importance to recording the presence or


absence of osseous deformity in Lateral Curvature.
If
osseous deformity is present, to that extent the case is
incurable and as far as I know, no patient has ever been
shown at a recognised medical society, before treatment
with slight or severe osseous deformity, due to the scoliotic
torsion of the vertebrae, and exhibited again after treatment, with disappearance of this same bony deformation.

I have frequently examined
patients who complained of a pain like a red-hot iron
being pressed into the spine, or like a sharp knife being
plunged into the trunk. Most scoliotic pains are relieved
by exercise, and strangely enough in many cases by lying
down, in the same patients to whom movement gives relief.
The backache is generally brought on or aggravated by
sitting for any length of time at lessons, especially writing,

It may
be stated generally that the amount of pain complained
of, is seldom in proportion to the amount of deformity.
Cases of extreme Lateral Curvature are sometimes seen
where there is not, and never has been, any backache
felt by the patient, although the health may have been
affected in other ways, by indigestion, headache, shortness
of breath, etc.
On the other hand, life may have become

attachment is designed to preserve the plantar arch, and
that such healthy condition must depend in great measure
on the evenly balanced action of those muscles upon
their several attachments.
Thus the peronei and tibial
muscles antagonise each other, and the expanded insertion of two of them into the tarsal bones, is very
instrumental in preserving the transverse, as well as the
antero-posterior arch." Although the bones of the instep
are apparently so well supported by their ligaments and
the tendinous prolongation of the muscles inserted in

back in front of the surgeon, with knees extended and

can draw ever so little, will find a rough outline sketch
of the patient's back and spine, while in the habitual
position, useful before proceeding further, and that the
curve of the spine is more readily recognised, if the
posterior spinous processes are marked from above, down,
with a soft copying-ink pencil (see figs. 20 and 23). Those
who cannot draw would probably find Dr. It. Tait
McKenzie's scoliosiometer, previously mentioned, of use.
After inspecting the patient laterally, noting whether
there is little or much exaggeration of the normal anteroposterior curves of the spines (slight, moderate, or severe

After this careful examination, which has included a
record of any osseous deformity present, as well as
of the ribs anteriorly, before allowing the patient to

spine can be restored to its normal position by a voluntary
effort, with the help of the surgeon.

In cases of Glass II. viz., " Osseous stage," the improvement effected will depend on the amount of bony
deformity present. One arm directed and held upwards,
and the other arm outwards, is frequently useful in
helping to partially restore the symmetry of the trunk
(see photographs, fig. 7 and fig. 8, which represent a girl,
aged seven years, with severe Lateral Curvature, in the

Sometimes the best

which she will feel as if she were more crooked than
before.
The muscular sense has become so perverted
that the habitual position appears to her to be far more
natural and straighter than the really erect or improved
posture.
A corroboration of this fact is given in cases
of wry-neck
(non-spasmodic torticollis)

days' methodical exercise, I divide the contracted sternomastoid tendons, Avhen at first the patient will continue
to hold the head in the habitual vicious oblique position
because that appears to him to be the erect position,
and it will only be after three or four weeks' daily
medical gymnastic treatment that he will be trained
really to hold the head symmetrically, having recovered
the normal muscular sense of such position. Even the
eyesight becomes affected in long-standing wry -neck.
I remember one young man on whom I operated, who
for several weeks after the operation declared that, when
he held his head vertically, everything he looked at
seemed on the oblique and crooked a remarkable example

is in the best possible posture, which is often most easily
obtained by letting her stand with her back against the

it, and with the shoulders well thrown back.
While in
this position, her mother or friend should be requested
to try to fasten her stays and clothes in front.
In most
cases, these will not meet for one or more inches, such
great alteration and enlargement of the thorax anteriorly
being temporarily effected by this simple device. This
applies equally to male patients, the shirt-collar band,
waistcoat, coat, and overcoat frequently not meeting for
an inch or more, when the patient is placed thus with
his back against the door.
Finally, the stockings being
removed, notice should be taken whether the patient is
flat-footed or not (see page 21).
After dressing, let the
patient write her name in her usual sitting position, as
described on page 3.
This is a good opportunity for
testing the eyesight, and to find out whether she can
read at the normal distance.

be made, although, more often than not, they fail, to
prevent further increase of the osseous deformity; and
in some few cases this is possible by the application of
a well-made posterior spinal support, which is fixed by
means of a strong leather pelvic band and shoulder-straps.
This support will, however, have to be worn most probably
for the remainder of the patient's life, because more or
less disappearance of the spinal muscles is presupposed.
It is to be understood that the support is worn with
the sole idea that it may possibly prevent further increase
of deformity and without any hope of its being curative,
and it should be left off at night in bed. Lying on the
back, or on the prone couch, for several hours daily, still
almost universally prescribed by orthopaedic and other
surgeons, is perfectly useless as far as cure of the Lateral
Curvature is concerned. If a limb with weak and flabby
muscles were put into stiff splints and kept at rest for
several hours daily, the muscles would naturally become
weaker and this is equally true of the spinal muscles.

An upright, well-padded dining-

the patient's trunk usually requires to be more vertical
than for reading and it is essential that not only the
trunk, but also the arms should remain perfectly symmetrical.
A sloping desk is absolutely required and if
the ordinary sloping handwriting is insisted upon, the
paper should be placed obliquely upwards from left to
right, and exactly in front of the patient.

age, and even for many adults who have much writing
to do.
The advantage of this desk is that, while fbr
writing the slope is at 15 degrees, for reading the lower
portion of the writing-desk turns up, and gives a slope
of 40 degrees, which has been found by eye-surgeons to
be most restful for the eyes, which are by this device at
the same distance from the top and bottom lines of a

easily comprehended. ... If the shonlder-blades be brought
close to the spine by the straps of the brace and kept
constantly so, there can be no use for the several strong
muscles which pass from the spine to the shoulder-blades.
They must consequently waste and become nearly useless,
while those on the forepart of the chest, being excited
and
to resist the straps, will become increased in power
hence, when the brace is taken off, not only will the
shoulders fall forward, as in a delicate person, but the
muscles on the forepart of the chest will predominate
over those by which the shoulder-blades should be held
back, and pull the shoulders forward." This was written
upward of seventy years ago, and is so complete and
simple a refutation of any supposed efficacy of shoulderstraps for stooping habits, that I have little to add
I have observed in numerous instances where
to it.
shoulder-braces have been worn for several months or
longer, and where, from misplaced perseverance and
severity, they have been worn extra tightly, that the
unfortunate wearer has tried to obtain relief from the
excessive pressure of the straps over the coracoid process,
and adjacent clavicle on each side, by throwing the whole
trunk backward by undue arching of the loins, with the
result of producing severe lumbar lordosis in addition
to the dorsal cyphosis (stoop) for which the apparatus
was being worn. I am quite aware that dorsal cyphosis
'

is

generally accompanied by compensatory lumbar lordosis,

but in these cases to which I refer, the lumbar hollow


is much severer than usual, and causes an exaggerated
thrusting forward and prominence of the abdomen.
Of
course, I am referring to the cyphosis of muscular debility,
and not that due to diseased bone (spinal caries). In spite
of these facts, many medical men of the present day, are
in the habit, not only of allowing, but even of advising
patients to wear these instruments. The only way in which

LATERAL CURVATURE OF THE SPINE.


Aii

eminent surgeon was consulted

35

by a gentleman,

who became one of our first tragedians, as to the best


mode of correcting a stoop which he had acquired. The
surgeon told him that neither stays nor straps would
do him any essential good, and that the only method of
succeeding was to recollect to keep his shoulders braced
back by a voluntary effort. But the tragedian replied that
this he could not do, as his mind was otherwise occupied.
The surgeon then told him that he could give him no
further assistance.

position, increasing the Lateral Curvature.
Eor the same
reason sitting with the thighs {knees) crossed should never
be allowed, because this position of the legs causes a
tilting of the pelvis and an exaggeration of any lateral
curves present in the spine.
A considerable number of scoliotic patients will be
found to bite their nails this habit often retards rapid
improvement of the spinal curvature by causing the
patient to stoop.
This trick is most readily cured by
the wearing of gloves constantly day and night till the
nails have been allowed to grow to a respectable length.

This can be tested by making the
patient stand in the best possible position with the back

already described on page 27.
In girls up to puberty,
and even later, three articles of dress are generally

by compressing the anterior thorax. For this reason, as
long as the hips are not sufficiently developed to allow
of a suspender-belt being worn round the pelvis, it is
much more sensible to wear the old-fashioned knitted

leave scarcely any mark on the skin, and do not in the

Female patients usually continue the daily repetition

Where monorrhagia or dysmenorrhea is present, it is
sometimes necessary to leave off the exercises altogether

As a general rule, it is better to

If the appetite is poor, a good basin of bread and-milk, or oatmeal porridge with milk or cream, should
be ordered for breakfast, and patients made to persevere
in taking a good breakfast, even if they complain of
nausea or discomfort at first. After a few weeks, patients
begin to enjoy their food as the result of the muscular
development and the increased capacity of their lungs.

this matters little, as it soon assumes the temperature of

to be quite dry by morning, when applied overnight.
When the pain is distinctly localised, as below one
shoulder-blade, or over one or several vertebral spinous
processes, and is neuralgic in character, I have found
the employment of an acupuncture instrument, such as
Dr. Brindley James's, frequently useful in effecting an

neuralgia.

been trained to hold himself or herself more erect and
with much less effort.
If horse exercise is strongly
desired for lady patients, it can only be allowed at the
end of the three months' course of treatment, and then
only provided the young lady rides alternate days on

The so-called anatomically shaped foot-gear is only to
be worn that is, besides being rights and lefts, the shape
of the sole should be such, that a line drawn through the
axis of the heel from behind forwards, should, if prolonged, pass over the place occupied by the little toe.
The heel of the boot should be low and broad, not more
than double the thickness of the sole in front. Formerly
I employed, for raising the depressed arch, a pad made
of superimposed layers of felt; and this, combined with
treatment for improving the muscular power, often had
good results every now and then, however, a case proved
very obstinate. I have discarded pads altogether for the
last thirteen years, except in very rare instances, and I

This has been
recognised of late years by all experienced cyclists, who
invariably prefer shoes to boots for cycling.

Instead of

a pad, which, if efficient, tends to bruise and irritate


the already tender instep, I employ an increased thickening of the sole opposite the ball of the great toe, and on
the inner margin of the heel, a modification of the method
of my friend, the late Mr. H. O. Thomas, of Liverpool.
His theory of the mechanical production of flat-foot
appears to me to be the most rational it is that, in the
normally constructed foot, the lower end of the tibia is
placed too much toward the inner border of the foot>

a new foot and leg, simply with the view of preventing
flat-foot, Ave should plant the lower end of the tibia rather
more toward the outer margin of the foot. The device
of the wedge-shaped sole, with the base inside, and the
apex outside, tilts or rotates the foot on its longitudinal
or antero-posterior axis, and carries the lower end of the
tibia toward the outer margin of the foot, and thus removes all or most of the pressure of the weight of the
body, as transmitted through the lower end of the tibia

forced to walk on the outer border of the foot, to avoid

the discomfort and annoyance of the pad pressing against


the tarsal arch.
Boots made, and so much advertised,

with movable or spring-like waists, are useless, and even


injurious, if the spring is prolonged to the outer margin
of the sole, where the foot ought to rest entirely on the
ground. As the chief movement of the foot in walking
is at the metatarso-phalangeal articulations, it would be
an advantage if this portion of the sole could be made
of a more yielding leather.
Where the displaced arch cannot be restored except
by brisement force, and where the discomfort of the
patient is severe, I would recommend this being effected
by Thomas's club-foot wrench, under anaesthetics, and
the foot kept in a suitable splint in the improved position
till all symptoms of the traumatism have disappeared.

frequently assume this last position instinctively, to give
relief to the overstrained ligaments, and this should be
encouraged.
In cases of extreme muscular weakness, massage of
the leg muscles for half an hour, once or twice daily,
should be employed.
For the technique I can refer
those interested to my article, " Massage," in Heath's
" Dictionary of Practical Surgery." Such severe treatment as the removal of a wedge-shaped jriece of bone
from the tarsal arch, does not appear justifiable and I
can only repeat, what I stated in the first edition of this
book, that I have not yet seen a case which offered
reasonable probability of this treatment being of permanent benefit to the mutilated patient the effects of
the treatment I advocate for flat-foot begin to be felt
within a week or two by the patient, and I seldom see
cases where all pain and discomfort have not disappeared

For the cure of the deformity, even slight

where pain has still persisted more or less, or where patients
have not held themselves as erect as they were expected
to do.
From Table IX., we see that 869 patients (869
per cent.) were practically cured i.e., much improved
75 patients (7*5 per cent.) were improved, and 56 patients
(5*6 per cent.) were more or less failures.
Of the latter
47 (4* 7 per cent.) were apparently successful at first,
but then relapsed, and 9 patients (0 9 per cent.) were
not improved from the first commencement of the treatment. Most of the failures have been due to want of

The following cases are illustrative of the Treatment
by Posture and Exercise
Case I. Miss W., cet. eighteen years, a student at one
of the London academies of music, was brought to me
on March 4th, 1882, with the following history
Three paternal aunts had spinal curvature, one much
deformed the patient is one of sixteen children, of whom
ten are living. Two younger sisters, aged sixteen and
fourteen years respectively, stoop considerably, but have
no Lateral Curvature. Up to fourteen years old (four
years ago) the patient was strong and never complained
of her back.
She then began to stoop and have backache, especially after long walks
the pain in the back
Avould last till she went to bed.
There was no illness
or rapid growth to account for this weakness of the spine.
The backache gradually became worse and three years
ago the patient was examined by one of the surgeons of
the Sussex County Hospital, who said the spine was not
straight, and she was ordered to lie down for two hours
daily.
At the end of another year, the same surgeon
found the curvature decidedly worse, so an ordinary
steel spinal support, with pelvic band and shouldercrutches, was applied.
This instrument has been worn
for two years up to a month ago, the mother assuring

a few seconds.
Sitting for half an hour any time of the day would
bring on severe backache.
I was interested to hear
that whenever she wished to sing extra well, she left
off the spinal support for the occasion.
Her dress and
stays were much too tight round the thorax, so that
scarcely any respiratory movement took place in the
lower half of the thorax. I gave her directions about
position, and a few simple exercises for developing the
thorax, and ordered the spinal support to be given up.
Nine months later viz., on December 18th, 1882 I saw
the patient for the second time.
Both she and her
mother considered there was some improvement, notwithstanding severe backache for the last fortnight. Her
professor of singing has complained of her want of
"breath." On examining the spine, I found it in the
same state as when I saw her the previous and first
time.
Two days later December 20th six photographs
were taken, which speak for themselves (see photographs
in Frontispiece, 1 to 6).

with the feet close together and the knees fully extended,
while the pelvis was placed symmetrically in relation to
the feet. These photographs were almost instantaneous ;
yet it cost her considerable effort and backache to maintain the improved position in which I placed her for
the few seconds necessary. My prognosis was that the
patient could he so strengthened by three months' daily
treatment, that this temporary improved position, involving such great effort when the photographs were
taken, would become a permanent one without any effort
at the same time that all pain would disappear, and
further increase of the osseous deformity would be
arrested that is, a "practical" cure.
On December 23rd
the patient began daily treatment, visiting my house
for three-quarters to one hour daily.

Case VII. (see No. 261 in the Appendix of 1000 cases).


Mrs. A., aged fifty-seven years, consulted me July 27th,
1888.
This is the most extraordinary case of maltreatment of Lateral Curvature by spinal supports I have ever
come across, as far as duration of treatment is concerned.
This

years.
Her son, a medical man, wrote to me

has suffered an incredible amount of pain from the deformity, which would seem to be of a neuralgic character,

state (July 27th, 1888)


A fairly wellnourished woman, with severe Lateral Curvature, with
dorsal (upper) convexity to the right (see figs. 41, 42,
and 43, which show respectively the rough sketch of
the back and the scoliosiometric tracings of the ribs
posteriorly, and of the loins opposite the third lumbar
vertebra).
She can be placed in a much improved
position, as the spine is still fairly movable, in spite of
the osseous deformity."
The patient commenced three
months' daily treatment, October 3rd, 1888, and by
November 16th (fortieth visit) she had improved so

This patient continued to suffer at intervals from the

she was able to get about better, and to enjoy a sense
of freedom which she had not experienced for nearly
forty years.
From the first day this lady consulted me
she left off her spinal support, and never wore it again.

muscles, having really the opposite effect of weakening
them as the result of disease. Lying for fifteen or thirty
minutes is useful when it rests the patient; but if it be

more carefully and conscientiously the patient carries out


the prescribed exercises, the better and quicker are the
results obtained.
12. Slight cases of Lateral Curvature of the Spine
without any osseous deformity can generally be cured
by one month's daily treatment (24 visits of threequarters of an hour each) by " Posture and Exercise."
Other cases, on an average, require three months' treatment (72 visits) for three-quarters of an hour daily, to effect
either a cure in those cases which can be cured (postural
or non-osseous cases), or the utmost improvement possible
in others where there is more or less osseous deformity
present (osseous cases).

a nurse as may be easily imagined, their results have
been less successful than mine.

book "It is to be hoped, that the publication of this
little book will do something to check the unscientific
and often disastrous treatment of Lateral Curvature of

the Spine by spinal supports and prolonged rest."
