AIS is the most common form of idiopathic scoliosis, accounting for around 90% of all cases. [51][44] Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis affects between 1-4% of teenagers, [52][53] with treatment being required for only 0.25% of teenagers with the condition. An even smaller portion of individuals may die due to the severe curvature as well as the ...
The management of scoliosis is complex and is determined primarily by the type of scoliosis encountered: syndromic, congenital, neuromuscular, or idiopathic. [ 1 ] Treatment options for idiopathic scoliosis are determined in part by the severity of the curvature and skeletal maturity, which together help predict the likelihood of progression. Non-surgical treatment (conservative treatment ...
Halo-gravity traction (HGT) is a type of traction device utilized to treat spinal deformities such as scoliosis, [1][2] congenital spine deformities, cervical instability, basilar invagination, and kyphosis. [3] It is used prior to surgical treatment to reduce the difficulty of the following surgery and the need for a more dangerous surgery. [4][5][6] The device works by applying weight to the ...
Providence brace. The Providence brace is a nighttime spinal orthosis for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The brace is used to curb the natural progression of scoliosis and prevent further curvature of the AIS patient's spine. The Providence brace was developed by Charles d'Amato and Barry McCoy, and is manufactured by ...
Back braces are prescribed to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, as they may stop the progression of spinal curvature in a growing child/adolescent. As of 2016, the Scientific Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) recommends bracing "is important, but does not have to be applied to all patients with this specific need" [2] for idiopathic scoliosis during ...
Scoliosis affects 2–3% of the United States population, or about five to nine million cases. [4] A scoliosis (spinal column curve) of 10° or less affects 1.5–3% of individuals. [100] The age of onset is usually between 10 years and 15 years (but can occur younger) in children and adolescents, making up to 85% of those diagnosed.
A 2012 systematic review suggested that the use of spine manipulation in clinical practice is a cost-effective treatment when used alone or in combination with other treatment approaches. [168] A 2011 systematic review found evidence supporting the cost-effectiveness of using spinal manipulation for the treatment of sub-acute or chronic low ...
