Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scoliosis is the most common distortion of the spinal curvature, characterized by an abnormal lateral (sideways) curvature of the spine. Kyphosis is an exaggerated forward rounding of the upper back, while lordosis is an exaggerated inward curvature of the lower back. Spinosis and spina bifida are not correct options as they do not refer to spinal curvatures.
