The discovery of aetiology of the So-Called Idiopathic Scoliosis was in 1984/1995 - 2007 (T. Karski). The spinal curvature deformity is connected with biomechanical influences - a/ the permanent habit of standing ‘at ease’ on the right leg in two groups and types and with b/ specific patterns of walking, also in two groups and types in the new Lublin classification. In basic findings in aetiology is: *asymmetry of movement of hips - limited adduction in extension position of right hip. This symptom is one of seven in Syndrome of Contracture and Deformities according Prof. Hans Mau from Germany (in German Siebenersyndrom). First my (T. Karski) lecture about biomechanical aetiology of scoliosis - on the Internet called Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) - was in Szeged in 1995 during the Orthopaedic Congress. First publication was in 1996 in Orthopädische Praxis in Germany [8]. In this publication is presented new classification, new therapy and rules of causal prophylaxis.
