No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In individuals with lumbar curvature, significant regressions in the curvature have been observed with spinal orthosis treatment, especially with use of a minimum of 20 hours a day. Symptoms such as numbness and decreased sense of touch are observed in the areas where the curvature is located, and changes in the skin structure are affected by the changes in the spine. Sensory testing may vary with changes in body posture. At the same time, the use of spinal orthosis, balance, fat mass, and the presence of pain show us sensitivity to touch on the skin. Sensory stimuli on the skin and trunk posture are interconnected. There are a limited number of studies in the literature examining the effects of sensory test results and fat mass on individuals diagnosed with AIS after using a spinal orthosis.

  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Spinal Orthosis Application

Spinal orthosis treatment is to prevent secondary curvature and provide correction. Corrective pressure forces in spinal orthosis are basically; There are pressure points on the material of the spinal orthosis, pressure pads, and velcros used to adjust the tightness and ensure the stability of the orthosis. The duration of use of spinal orthoses varies from patient to patient; It is known that using it for an average of 23 hours a day gives the best results. Orthosis use is required for 12 weeks during the study.
