摘要
Scoliosis is detectable in 6 to 14 percent of school-age children. An estimated 0.1 percent of the curvatures are progressive and require treatment. The usual method of treatment consists of a restrictive brace worn most of the time. A successful and nonrestrictive technique utilizing electrical stimulation of the deep paraspinal muscles has been developed. Therapy involves night-time use of an implanted stimulator system. It places no restrictions on the child's activities, while producing results that are superior to bracing.
