The Scoliosis Rehabilitation model begins with the correct diagnosis and evaluation of the patient, to make treatment decisions oriented to the patient. The treatment is based on observation, education, scoliosis specific exercises, and bracing. The state of research in the field of conservative treatment is insufficient. There is some evidence supporting scoliosis specific exercises as a part ...

Abnormal lateral curvature of the spine may affect postural balance pattern in static and dynamic condition. Previous studies demonstrated asymmetrical balance patterns of adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis during sitting and walking. However, pressure distribution data have been rarely used to analyze asymmetrical postural pattern of scoliotic patients. In this study, pressure data ...

Abstract Aims: Scoliosis is one of the secondary complications in amputation veterans, which requires periodic evaluations. The gold standard for evaluating the spine is radiography, which has caused many concerns due to the very high doses of X-ray radiation. For this reason, therapists are finding for an alternative method for this tool, so ultrasound is a non-invasive tool with different me...

BACKGROUND A triad of deformities-thoracolumbar scoliosis, pelvic obliquity, and femoral head (hip) subluxation/dislocation-occurs frequently in non-ambulatory neuromuscular patients, but their close inter-relationship is infrequently appreciated or quantified. We propose a deformity documentation approach to assess each component simultaneously. METHODS The documentation assesses each compon...

STUDY DESIGN A prospective treatment study with a new brace was conducted Objective. To evaluate radiological and subjective clinical results after one year conservative brace treatment with pressure onto lordosis at the thoracolumbar joint in children with scoliosis and kyphosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Conservative brace treatment of adolescent scoliosis is not proven to be effective in ...

STUDY DESIGN Modified Delphi technique. OBJECTIVE To develop guidelines for the clinical management of scoliosis in Rett syndrome through evidence review and consensus expert panel opinion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Rett syndrome is a rare disorder and clinical expertise is thus with small case series. Scoliosis is a frequent association and the evidence base dealing with scoliosis managem...

Introduction In the process of treating scoliosis X-ray is one of the objective methods of assessing the progress of therapy. In the assessment of scoliosis picture should cover the entire spine, hip bones with plates and hips, made standing in the AP and lateral projections. On the basis of a well-made images, you can specify the parameters of scoliosis (type of scoliosis, Risser test, the Cob...

A systematic review on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of school scoliosis screening programme was carried out. A total of 248 relevant titles were identified, 117 abstracts were screened and 28 articles were included in the results. There was fair level of evidence to suggest that school scoliosis screening programme is safe, contributed to early detection and reduction of surgery. Th...
