ORTHOM8: Welcome to OrthoM8. Making learning Orthomatic by Harry Benjamin-Laing. Today's topic is the rib vertebral angle difference defined as the difference between the angles made by the apical vertebra and its ribs. When faced with a scoliosis, first find the apical vertebra.
ORTHOM8: Then draw a line parallel to the bottom of the apical vertebra. Next, a line perpendicular to this. Easy so far. Let's continue by finding the midpoint of the neck of the ribbon, that of the head of the rib aligned through these midpoints creates an angle with the perpendicular line. This angle is called the rib vertebral angle or RVA or Mehta. On the concave side, in order to calculate the rib vertebra angle difference, you must repeat the process on the convex side.
ORTHOM8: The rib vertebra angle difference is the difference between the RVA on the concave side and that on the convex side. Now here is the important bit. A rib vertebral angle difference of 20 degrees or less is associated with a non-progressive or resolving in most cases are idiopathic infantile scoliosis.
