AB  - A review of the epidemiology of scoliosis reveals that it is costly in human 
      suffering and health care resources. The terminology is defined and 
      classifications explained. The full geometric description of scoliosis includes 
      the three-dimensional description of the vertebral column, as well as the rib 
      cage. Stereoradiographic and stereophotogrammetric (Raster and Moire) techniques 
      are introduced. The coupling in a kinematic sense between, for example, lateral 
      bend and rotation is compared to the orientation coupling in scoliosis. Genetic, 
      biochemical, hormonal, neurological, and mechanical factors do not as yet explain 
      the etiology. Column buckling models do not incorporate coupling, especially that 
      occurring in scoliosis and thus do not improve our understanding of the deformity 
      or its progression.
