Abstract
If idiopathic scoliosis and Scheuermanns kyphosis are diagnosed while a patie nt still has significant growth remaining, spinal bracing may be necessary to prevent progression of the deformity. Noncompliance to a bracewearing regimen is a major impediment to effective treatment. At the Childrens 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. Verf.-Referat
