SpineCore treatment for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The natural history of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (patients who are least 4 years of age but younger than ten when the deformity is first identified) is usually a progression. In addition, patients who receive a diagnosis at five years or younger have a high chance of progression to a large curve, witch may lead to pulmonary and cardiac complications. The mainstay of conservative treatment for scoliosis (juvenile as well as for the adolescent) is the brace. The purpose of this prospective interventional study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dynamic SpineCor brace for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis and to evaluate the stability of the spine after the weaning point.
