Impact of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis on in-school adolescents and intervention

Abstract

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most common types of scoliosis, which affects patients balance function and spinal mobility, leads to spinal deformity,and also has some degree of negative effect on pulmonary function, which, to varying degrees, seriously affects adolescents physical and mental health and quality of life, increases patients familys financial burden, and may also result in the depletion of social resources. Therefore, early identification and intervention of AIS is an urgent issue. There is still some controversy about whether to screen for AIS, and each region should make decisions based on their own situation. The popularisation of the disease should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. This paper summarises the impact of AIS on adolescents learning and social interaction. In addition, specific interventions after the emergence of AIS, such as conservative treatment, surgical treatment, and traditional Chinese medicine, are generally described, and their advantages and disadvantages are analysed. This paper is intended to provide more theoretical basis for an further understanding of scoliosis.
