Mobilisation of neural structures opens up new possibilities for idiopathic scoliosis treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
Background Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) is a progressive disorder with reduced mobility of the spine. This makes corrections difficult or sometimes even inhibits postural changes. Even when correction of frontal or coronal plane deformity seems successful, sagittal correction mostly is not addressed appropriately. This might be due to functional tethering of the spinal cord or even of peripheral neural structures. This explains the lack of success when trying to correct sagittal plane deformity with the help of stretching exercises. Purpose of this study was to test how the release of these structures may relax lordotic tension in the thoracic area.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in 152 patients was treated by Luque L-rod instrumentation and early mobilisation without external support. This series was compared with a matched group of 156 patients treated by Harrington instrumentation and immobilised in an underarm jacket for nine months. All the operations in both groups were performed by one surgeon and the patients were followed prospec...
