Bracing for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and Scheuermann Kyphosis: the issue of overtreatment in Greece

Abstract: BackgroundMost recent publications have provided evidence for brace treatment in spinal deformities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of overtreatment for AIS and Kyphosis in Greece, according to the Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) and the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) guidelines for brace treatment. To date, this is the first study to investigate overtreatment percentage in a group of patients with spinal deformities.MethodsCross-sectional study design an… Show more

“…In the Lyon and FED methods, PSSE physiotherapy is used as an adjacent therapy; bracing is the main treatment in the Lyon method [ 15 , 71 ], while the FED method involves mechanotherapy using a specific apparatus [ 49 ]. The SEAS methodology, which does not emphasize bracing, has been developed based on the Lyon method, and was modified over time according to scientific discoveries [ 15 , 72 ]. The DoboMed method focuses on exercises to increase chest kyphosis, which is typical of the Lyon method [ 73 ].…”

“…However, the use of braces might subsequently affect development of the heart and lungs in the thoracic cavity [ 4 ]. Over-treating a child with a long-term brace prescription might cause social, financial, and psychological problems [ 5 ]. Alternative treatments such as chiropractic medicine and electrical stimulation have been suggested to improve patients’ quality of life; however, the benefits for prevention of scoliosis progression remain controversial [ 6 ].…”

“…La multiplication de traitements (aussi appelé surtraitement) est un problème qui a été documenté en physiothérapie [1,2], tout comme dans plusieurs champs de pratique de la médecine [3][4][5][6]. On parle de multiplication de traitements lorsque le nombre de traitements, soit la fréquence ou la durée des traitements, est inappropriées aux besoins du patient ou ou disproportionnées par rapport à ce qui est requis pour atteindre l'objectif clinique visé [7].…”

“…Les conséquences de la multiplication de traitements peuvent être sociales et financières [1,6,14,15]. En plus des coûts directs pour les traitements, il s'agit d'un gaspillage de ressources qui pourraient être mieux utilisées ailleurs [14].…”
