Advances in Conservative Treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis in Young Adults

Scoliosis refers to the deformity of the spine that deviates from the connecting line between the occipital midpoint and sacral spine in the coronal plane. Accompanied by vertebral rotation, thoracic deformation, and physiological bending changes, it is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine. Scoliosis usually worsens with the growth and development of adolescents, which can lead to a deficiency in cardiopulmonary function. For scoliosis, clinical treatment at home and abroad can generally be divided into surgical treatment and conservative treatment. In recent years, many studies have shown that PSSE combined with brace therapy is effective in the conservative treatment of scoliosis. This article will summarize the classification, PSSE, and various kinds of braces for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis at home and abroad, in order to provide a reference for those who are new to scoliosis treatment.
