Experience in the treatment of scoliosis in children and adolescents in a rehabilitation center

Abstract

The rehabilitation center operates on the basis of the sanatorium boarding school No. 25 at the CITO. The sanatorium boarding school was organized in 1992 and is designed for the education and treatment of 150 children aged 6 to 16-17. A typical school building after a major overhaul was converted into an educational and medical institution. The boarding school works on a five-day week, children spend weekends at home. Unlike other similar institutions that exist in Moscow and some regions of Russia, boarding school No. 25 does not specialize in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with pathology of any one system of the musculoskeletal system (spine, large joints, etc.). The main task of the center is to provide qualified rehabilitation assistance to children suffering from a wide variety of orthopedic pathologies, as well as those who have suffered injuries of the joints, limbs, spine, etc. This report is devoted to the analysis of treatment at the center for children suffering from scoliosis. This contingent of patients here is about 60% of the total number of patients.
