Abstract

The Lyon school has proposed a preparation to brace wearing through an intensive mobilization in order to obtain a better reduction of the braced scoliotic curve. Our aim was to verify this hypothesis. Design: a prospective controlled study on consecutive patients having idiopathic scoliosis with brace management. Outcome: results after 5 months of brace wearing were reviewed by radiographic examination without the brace. Treatment: SEAS Group exercises according to the protocol SEAS.02 (Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis, version 2002); CONT Group various type of exercises. Population. 110 patients (34 females), 13.5±2.4 years, 31.1°±11.1° Cobb (°C), 14.4°±6.0° Bunnell (°B). All parameters improved at follow-up in both groups. SEAS had better results than CONT for °C. Clinical results (variations of at least 5°C and 2°B) were better in SEAS than CONT. This study proves the efficacy of SEAS.02 exercises preparatory for bracing. Bracing demonstrated its short term efficacy.
