Kõrvalekub

Kõrvalekub, also known as lateral deviation, refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. This term is commonly used in the fields of medicine, anatomy, and biomechanics to describe various types of deviations, including those in the spine, limbs, and other body structures. In the context of the spine, kõrvalekub can occur in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions and may be caused by conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis. In the limbs, it can refer to the deviation of a joint or limb from its normal alignment, which may be due to muscle imbalances, nerve issues, or other underlying conditions. The term is also used in engineering and physics to describe the lateral displacement of an object or system from its intended path or axis. Kõrvalekub can be measured and quantified using various methods, including imaging techniques, motion analysis, and biomechanical assessments. Treatment options for kõrvalekub depend on the underlying cause and may include physical therapy, exercises, corrective surgeries, or other interventions aimed at restoring proper alignment and function.
