Abstract

In brief: If idiopathic scoliosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis are diagnosed while a patient still has significant growth remaining, spinal bracing may be necessary to prevent progression of the deformity. Noncompliance to a brace-wearing regimen is a major impediment to effective treatment. At the Children's Rehabilitation Center a special program to help patients through the initial adjustment period starts with a three-to five-day inpatient stay. The program has achieved a 78% compliance record for kyphosis patients and 95% compliance for scoliosis patients.
