Children’s self-test: posture, scoliosis & jaw · CMD & Scoliosis Network Switzerland

We begin with the signs you are most likely to notice: posture, back, head and jaw. Mark what you observe in your child.

Important: This self-test gives you an initial orientation and is not a diagnosis. It does not replace a medical, dental or orthopaedic assessment. A diagnosed scoliosis belongs in the hands of medical and orthopaedic specialists.
You will see one question at a time. We need the questions marked * for the evaluation; you may skip all the others.

For now, the answers stay on this device only.

Areas of note

What does this mean?

During growth, the jaw, teeth and posture develop together. This is why signs in posture/back, sleep/breathing and the jaw may be connected, in the sense of CMD regulatory medicine (CMD: craniomandibular dysfunction). Whether this plays a role in your child’s case can only be clarified by an interdisciplinary assessment that includes the jaw. A diagnosed scoliosis belongs in the care of medical and orthopaedic specialists.
