Scoliosis is a condition of occurring side-to-side spinal curves characterized by complex lateral and rotational curvature and deformity of the spine. It is typically classified as congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent or adult according to when onset occurred) or as having developed as a secondary symptom of another condition such as cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy. Most cases of scoliosis are diagnosed during adolescence and symptoms decrease as the spinal curve straightens with growth. However, more severe curvature may lead to pain and other problems during adulthood.
At night, patient with scoliosis find it difficult to find comfortable sleeping position due to the aches and pains. Moreover, pressure built on the spine or joints may cause the patient to wake up in pain. The wrong mattress can aggravate the symptoms of scoliosis while the right mattress can play a major role in alleviating pain and promoting restful sleep.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of scoliosis among global population is expected to increase the adoption of scoliosis management systems in the near future. There are not many studies that can provide data of high relevance regarding prevalence of scoliosis, globally. Several studies that provide such data have substantial weaknesses such as varying definitions of scoliosis, study protocols, and age-groups. However, scoliosis is the most common spinal disorder in children and adolescents. The scoliosis is characterized by a side-to-side curvature of the spine >10°, usually combined with a rotation of the vertebrae and most often a reduced kyphosis in thoracic curves.
Furthermore, increasing engagement of healthcare regulatory organizations in creating awareness regarding scoliosis deformities screening at early-stage to reduce the therapeutic procedures and the associated costs in health services is expected to drive the market growth in the near future.
For instance, in the U.S., National Scoliosis Awareness Month is conducted by Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), annually in June with the goal of highlighting rising need for education, early detection, and to create awareness among public regarding scoliosis and its prevalence within the community.
