Research objective: development of a new technique of physiotherapy exercises in rehabilitation of children with orthopedic and neurologic diseases. Materials and methods: the technique is applied more than at 467 patients with various disturbances of a musculoskeletal system. The technique is based on use of proprioceptive proofreaders as “Propriofoot”. Advantages of this way of therapy are: purposeful correction of certain orthopedic disturbances, increase in efficiency parallel to the carried-out rehabilitation therapy; simplicity of implementation of the method connected with use of simple technical means and a variety of the technical and methodical approaches changed depending on severity of post-urological disturbances at the patient. Results: new approach to correction of various post-urological disturbances accompanying many neurologic and orthopedic diseases of the lower extremities, a pelvic girdle, a backbone is developed. Conclusions: use of a method of proprioceptive proofreaders leads to the pronounced improvement of results of rehabilitation, receiving earlier affirmative answers of treatment during the work with various pathologies, to turning on of additional mechanisms of post-urological regulation.

This review presents an analysis of scientific papers on the conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis with spinal braces. Insufficient awareness of brace treatment for spinal deformities is often the reason for the negative attitude of orthopedists toward brace therapy and the conservative treatment of scoliosis in general. In world practice, braces have been the primary and scientifically proven technique for conservative treatment of intermediate forms (grades IIIII) of scoliosis in children and adolescents for over 50 years. Modern spinal braces are active orthopedic products that provide three-dimensional correction of the existing deformity and prevent the progression of scoliosis. The main goal of using braces is to eliminate the pathological displacement of the vertebrae, ribs, and pelvis to a physiological state by applying pressure to specific body areas and actively correcting the deformity. Using a brace is the only non-surgical method to treat scoliosis with scientifically proven efficiency. The poor results of using braces to treat scoliosis are primarily due to insufficient correction in the brace, non-compliance with the wearing time, and the lack of adjunctive therapy. The efficiency of brace therapy depends on three main factors that require the personal involvement of the patient: the time of wearing the corset per day, the degree of correction in the corset, and constant (daily) training of the back muscles. The results of recent multicenter studies confirm the efficiency of using braces to treat idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.
