Mumamiriro emazuva ese, musana wedorsal (uri pakati pemutsipa nechepazasi kumashure) unopa curvature ine posterior convexity. Sezvineiwo, nharaunda yemutsipa uye yakaderera kumashure inopa curvature ine anterior convexity.

Kyphosis kuwedzeredza kwekutenderera kwenzvimbo yedorsal ichipa kumashure nzvimbo yakatenderedzwa zvakanyanya. Iro cervical uye lumbar zvikamu zvemuzongoza zvinopa arch yakanyanyisa kuenzanisa iyo dorsal convexity inobatanidza nekyphosis.

Kyphosis inogona kusanganiswa ne scoliosis (lateral deviation of the spine) zvichiita kuti kyphoscoliosis.

Kune marudzi akawanda ekyphosis:

a) kyphosis yevana nevechiri kuyaruka. Inogona kunge iri nekuda kwe:

- chinzvimbo chakashata: inowanzobatanidzwa nekusakwana kudzidziswa kwesimba rekumashure. Hapana kuremara kwakakosha kwemapfupa emuzongoza kunoonekwa.

-Chirwere cheScheuermann: imhaka yeanomaly mukukura kwedorsal vertebrae. Chikonzero chechirwere ichi hachiri kuzivikanwa. Inobata vakomana kakawanda kupfuura vasikana. Inobatanidza kuoma kwemashure, kuwedzera kurwadziwa mushure mekugara kwenguva refu kana kurovedza muviri. The aesthetic deformity yemusana wemurwere ndiyo inowanzoonekwa. Ongororo ye x-ray yemuzongoza inoita kuti zvikwanise kuita kuti kuongororwa nekuratidza kuremara kunobata kanenge katatu akatevedzana dorsal vertebrae. Nzira yechirwere inopera pakupera kwekukura, asi vertebral anomalies yakabatanidzwa nehosha inoramba isingagadziriswi.

b) kyphosis yevakuru vechidiki Kazhinji kazhinji chiratidzo chechirwere cherheumatic chinonzi ankylosing spondylitis. Chirwere ichi chinonyanya kukanganisa pelvis uye musana uye inogona kubatanidza seti yezviratidzo: kurwadziwa kwemajoini kunoitika kunyanya usiku, kuoma kwemusana, fivha, kuneta, kusagadzikana kwematumbo. Kukura kwayo kunogara kwenguva refu uye nekukurumidza.

c) kyphosis kune vakwegura inogona kunge yakabatana ne:

-a vertebral osteoporosis inokonzera kupera simba kwe vertebrae uye vertebral compression

-kuderera kwe intervertebral discs (rudzi rwemapadhi ari pakati peumwe neumwe we vertebrae)

Zvimwe zvikonzero, zvisingawanzoitiki, inogona kukonzera kyphosis:

-a trauma

- neuromuscular chirwere (zvakadai seporiyo)

-a congenital malformation
