Managing Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in the Adult with ScoliBrace® and ScoliBalance®
At 61 years old, the patient visited the ScoliCare clinic after experiencing a deterioration in posture, pain and an inability to stand or walk for long periods of time . An X-ray taken prior to attending ScoliCare revealed a scoliosis measurement of 49°.
Within 10 years, her scoliosis progressed to 59° and her function ability declined without treatment. This patient was diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in the Adult, with degenerative changes. The patient was prescribed a part-time ScoliBrace® and ScoliBalance® treatment plan to manage the progression and symptoms.
