Orthotic Management for Controlling Scoliotic Curve Progression in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Idiopathic scoliosis is a living problem that resists correction. The underlying cause of the such disorder is unknown but directed more toward muscular disorders. However recent clinical observation showed a possible neuromuscular compromise early in those patients. The main purpose of this study is to develop a treatment procedure to correct the degree of bony curvature in patients with Idiopathic scoliosis through developing a neuromuscular corrective approach that might be a more effective conservative treatment protocol for such disorder.
