The Effectiveness of Brace Strategy in the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The association between scoliosis and brace strategy has long been the focus of medical and scientific research. In this article, we criticize and compile information from academic sources to evaluate the effectiveness of the brace strategy in the treatment of puberty idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Scoliosis is diagnosed when rotational displacement results in lateral curves (Fagan, 2012). According to Pierce (2005), 80% of scoliosis cases are also unknown and are presumed to be also known as idiopathic diseases.

Scoliosis can be classified by cause: idiopathic, congenital or neuromuscular. Idiopathic scoliosis is a diagnosis that eliminates all other causes, accounting for about 80% of all cases. Idiopathic idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type of scoliosis, usually diagnosed at puberty. Congenital scoliosis is caused by embryonic malformation of one or more vertebrae and can occur anywhere in the spine. Because abnormal areas of the spine extend at a slower rate than other areas, abnormal vertebrae cause curvature of the spine and other malformations. Abnormal geometry and position determine the rate at which scoliosis grows as children grow. Because of these abnormalities at birth, congenital scoliosis is usually detected when bit incidence scoliosis is young.

In this article I will explain the outline of idiopathic scoliosis and its treatment. OrthoInfo has created several articles on scoliosis with the North American Pediatric Orthopedic Society and the Scoliosis Society. For details, please refer to "related article" on this page. Scoliosis deforms or rotates the bones of the spine and makes the spine look like the letter "C" or "S" than the straight line in the middle of the back. The scoliosis curve occurs most frequently in the upper and central dorsal (thoracic vertebra). They can also occur in the lumbar, and occasionally in the upper and lower parts of the spine.
