Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis, affecting approximately 2% to 4% of adolescents. The incidence of scoliosis is about the same in males and females; however, females have up to a 10-fold greater risk of curve progression. Although most youths with scoliosis will not develop clinical symptoms, scoliosis can progress to rib deformity and respiratory compromise...

The two main societies clinically dealing with idiopathic scoliosis are the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), founded in 1966, and the international Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT), started in 2004. Inside the SRS, the Non-Operative Management Committee (SRS-NOC) has the same clinical interest of SOSORT, that is the Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation (or Non-Op...

Scoliosis is a deformity of the spine known since Hippocrates times. The value of certain methods of conservative treatment remains controversial. Some of them have only a psychological value both for the physician and his or her caregivers. Based on current literature and the Scoliosis Research Society Report of Alternative Methods of Treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis, we describe the effectiv...

Background Bracing treatment proved to be a useful conservative care treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients according to a Cochrane review. Prospective observational trials following the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) criteria for bracing studies and the SOSORT management criteria, can give other evidence on the effectiveness of bracing in AIS. The Sforzesco brace has be...

Methods Female patients with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent conservative treatment for at least one year, whose age was between 14 and 29 years and whose Cobb angle was between 25 and 50 degrees, were included in the study. The responses to the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22) questionnaire, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RDQ) were analyzed a...

Scoliosis Research Society defined scoliosis deformity as a lateral curvature of the spine on a radiograph of the spine taken in standing position.1 The degree of the curve is measured as the angle between the most inclined vertebral end-plates at each end of the curve (the Cobb angle). There are many causes of scoliosis deformity. It can be structural due to spinal pathologies or non-structura...

BACKGROUND First author attempted to analyse medical records of patients with idiopathic scoliosis for compliance with the Scoliosis Research Society brace studies criteria. A retrospective analysis of medical records of 2705 girls treated from 1989 to 2002 was carried out. METHODS Age, Cobb, Risser and menarchal status were analyzed for compliance with the Scoliosis Research Society brace st...
