A 12-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother who noticed that her daughter's shoulders appear uneven when she wears tank tops. The nurse is conducting an initial assessment for possible idiopathic scoliosis. Which assessment finding would be most indicative of structural scoliosis?
1Uneven shoulder heights when standing upright
2Hip asymmetry when standing in normal position
3Unequal leg lengths measured from hip to ankle
4Prominent rib hump visible during forward bend test✓ 정답
해설
The forward bend test (Adam's test) reveals a rib hump, indicating the rotational component of structural scoliosis. Other findings like shoulder or hip asymmetry are less specific and can occur in various conditions.
誤答の分析 (Distractor Analysis)
① 肩の高さの左右差:これは構築性側弯でも見られますが、姿勢の悪さや筋力の左右差など、他の原因でも生じる非特異的な所見です。構築性側弯の確定所見とは言えません。
② 立位での骨盤(股関節)の非対称性:これも構築性側弯の一徴候ではありますが、前屈テストで消失する場合は姿勢性の可能性が高く、回旋の有無を確認できません。
③ 脚長差(股関節から足首までの長さの違い):これは下肢の長さの違いによる代償性側弯 (Compensatory scoliosis)の原因となります。脚長差を補正すると側弯が改善する場合は、構築性側弯ではありません。
